Julia HughanPlease write a sonnet for me, Steve Earle.

One track that I do adore is "Steve Earle". Unlike Taylor Swift's "Tim McGraw" or Jason Aldean's "Johnny Cash", this track is actually about Earle himself - odd, yes I know.
When I was in my final year of high school, studying Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night, my literature teacher suggested to the class that we seek a male in life that can write us a sonnet. Well, Sugarland took Ms Thompson's suggestion one step further. In a comedic fashion, Jennifer Nettles sings about her desire for Steve Earle to marry her, not for love, not for money, hell, not even for citizenship, but for him to write a song for her. Really, don't we all want that?
