Losing Touch

The video for her heart-wrenching country song features an aching Reba at home alone, stricken with anxiety as her husband leaves week after week to Boston “each time duty calls.”

“When whoever’s in New England is through with you/ And Boston finds better things to do,” sings the heartbroken country star. “You know it’s not too late ’cause you’ll always have a place to go/ When whoever’s in New England’s through with you.”

As Reba sings, she starts to see through her husbands lies. Just then, when it seems as if all hope is lost for her husband to remain her own, he has a change of heart and leaps back into her waiting arms.
