Clay Walker (born August 19, 1969) was born and raised on a farm in Beaumont, TX, the hometown of George Jones. Walker fell in love with country music at an early age, when his father gave him a guitar when he was only nine years old. After he graduated from high school, Walker pursued a musical career full-time, playing concerts across the South, the Midwest, and Canada. For over three years, he toured and went to school, taking courses about the music business. During this time, he acted as his own manager. Eventually, he became the house singer at the Neon Armadillo bar in Beaumont. While performing at the club, producer James Stroud heard Walker and offered to work with the singer. Stroud helped Walker secure a contract with Giant Records, and the pair began working on the vocalist's debut album.
"What's It to You" became a number one hit upon its release in August of 1993, with "Live Until I Die" following it into the pole position later that same year. Both singles were featured on his debut album, Clay Walker, which was released in the fall of 1993. "Where Do I Fit in the Picture," the third single from the album, became a number 11 hit in early 1994. "White Palace" was a flop, failing to crack the Top 40, but "Dreaming With My Eyes Open" became his third number one hit in the summer of 1994, helping make his debut record a platinum album. If I Could Make a Living was not quite as successful as his debut, yet it still yielded the number one title track. Hypnotize the Moon, Walker's third album, appeared in the fall of 1995, preceded by the number two single "Who Needs You Baby." He followed with Self Portrait in 1996 and Rumor Has It in 1997. A Greatest Hits collection appeared in 1998 and a new album, Live, Laugh, Love, was released in 1999. Say No More followed two years later.
This Woman And This Man
Clay Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't heard half of what you want me to
Hurt so bad over where we've been
Don't know how not to go back there again
I know what I want to say
How can I get it through to you now in some other way
Like
There was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
That nothing could be sadder than this woman, this woman and this man
A stranger's eyes and a lover's face
Still no signs of a better time and place
Have we lost the key to an open door?
I feel the need to reach out to you even more
It's a circle we're going 'round
How can I get us out from under? It's gonna take us down
See
There was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
That we can get it back again
This woman, this woman and this man
For all we got to lose
It's so much a gain
That we could come this far and leave it behind
There's only you and me to blame
There was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
That nothing could be sadder than this woman, this woman and this man
How could they be so in love
And still never see
That we can get it back again
This woman, this woman and this man
The lyrics of "This Woman and This Man" by Clay Walker are about a couple who has gone through hardships and struggles in their relationship, but still hold onto the love they share. The singer speaks about trying hard to communicate with his partner, but feeling like he hasn't been heard. He acknowledges the pain from their past and the fear of going back to a place that caused them hurt. The chorus of the song tells the story of a woman and a man who were once in love but are now facing challenges in their relationship. They missed the chance to hold onto what they had, and the singer believes that it is a tragic situation.

Been tryin' so hard just to talk to you
I've been doing my best to communicate with you
Haven't heard half of what you want me to
I haven't really listened or understood everything you've been saying
Hurt so bad over where we've been
I'm deeply upset about our past and what we've been through
Don't know how not to go back there again
I'm not sure how to avoid repeating our past mistakes
I know what I want to say
I have a clear idea of what I want to express
How can I get it through to you now in some other way
I need to find a new way to communicate my thoughts and feelings to you
There was this woman
There was a woman in this story
And there was this man
And there was a man too
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
At some point in their relationship, they had an opportunity to preserve their love
How could they be so in love and still never see
Despite being deeply in love, they failed to recognize their relationship was falling apart
That nothing could be sadder than this woman, this woman and this man
It's a tragedy that this couple couldn't save their love
A stranger's eyes and a lover's face

Still no signs of a better time and place
They don't see any hope for the future of their relationship
Have we lost the key to an open door?
Did we miss the opportunity to keep our love blooming?

I have a stronger urge to reconnect with you
It's a circle we're going 'round
We're stuck in the same patterns and issues over and over again
How can I get us out from under? It's gonna take us down
I need to find a way to fix our problems, or they will destroy us
For all we got to lose
We have so much at stake
It's so much a gain
There's so much to gain if we can fix our relationship
That we could come this far and leave it behind
It would be a waste to throw away everything we've built together so far
There's only you and me to blame
We're the ones responsible for what's happening to our relationship
That we can get it back again
We can still salvage our love
This woman, this woman and this man
This story is about a woman, a man, and their love

It is 2024, and I still listen to this song on repeat. One of Clay Walker’s best songs. I hope to one day find this kind of love.

The '90s was the last decade of good music! After that Country took a nose dive into the unknown!
@ADDAuntDawnDisorder
Starting with Swiftie!🤢Now she’s a radical leftist socialist like the rest of them in multi millionaire LaLa land. What a sellout. She needs to vote in CA rather than in TN! I KNEW she wasn’t “country” when she started. Can’t believe she was touted as such in the first place!?❌
@patiencecross8047
@@ADDAuntDawnDisorder I said the same thing about swifty!! there is a "few" "new country" "songs/people" that are good BUT still not the same as the 70's & 80's and the 90's 😊

One of the most unique & strongest voices ever! If I could sing & pick somebody’s voice it would have to be Clay’s or Garth Brooks for me. His deep roar when he hits & stretches out a deep note is amazing
