About The Song
Maybe life hasn’t always been sunshine and roses. Perhaps you’ve weathered your share of storms, the kind that leave you a little cautious about letting someone new in. But sometimes, a love song comes along that reminds you of the beauty of connection, the simple joy of being cherished. Alan Jackson’s “I Could Get Used to This Lovin’ Thing” is that kind of song.
Released in 2010 on his album Freight Train, this track speaks to folks who’ve lived a bit, who appreciate the quiet moments of tenderness just as much as the grand gestures. Jackson’s signature baritone, smooth as aged whiskey, delivers lyrics that resonate with a comfortable familiarity. It’s a song that unfolds slowly, like a gentle conversation between two souls who’ve found solace in each other’s company.
There’s no frantic chasing or desperate pleading here. Instead, the song celebrates the everyday aspects of love – the way a partner calls your name, the comfort of their presence, the small gestures of affection. Jackson sings about a love that feels genuine, a connection that’s built on trust and shared experiences. It’s a love that might surprise you, a love that sneaks up and makes you realize, “Hey, this isn’t so bad after all.”
“I Could Get Used to This Lovin’ Thing” isn’t about grand declarations or whirlwind romances. It’s a love song for the long haul, a celebration of the quiet affection that deepens with time. It’s a song that reminds us that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones that unfold gently, the ones that make you realize, with a contented sigh, “Yeah, I think I could get used to this.”
