But then he goes on the thank his wife. \u201cThank you, Lauren, for living this dream you never had and being the most incredible wife, mother, and best friend I could ever have imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working that song title into his praise for Lauren is so him, and so poetic. Because the song \u2014 written by Thomas Rhett, his dad Rhett Akins, Jesse Frasure and Ashley Gorley \u2014 is all about how the journey they are on together is because of the dream <em>he<\/em> had. (Major husband points for acknowledging that, and for making music about it.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about how the spotlight\u2019s on him, but the fans know that Lauren is the reason he shines, and how she married the music the day she married him. And how he is just the singer, but she is the songs that he sings.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the quintessential country love song, perfect for anyone who is truly in love.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Rhett has known Lauren since the first grade, although he\u2019s admitted in the past that she didn\u2019t notice him until they were teenagers. They were married in 2012, right around the time he was releasing his second single \u201cBeer With Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His current single \u201cLook What God Gave Her\u201d is also about his bride. In fact, if you look closely at the entire track list from <em>Center Point Road<\/em>, you can see that Lauren is everywhere on this album.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AbXahmBSLTk?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AbXahmBSLTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
