Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

Taylor Swift was singing this line in her song while I was exercising.  I had to stop and  think about it and what it meant.   I couldn't help but wonder what ever happened to "love is a many splendid thing".    The line in the song has been going though my brain for the past few days.   It makes me realize the gap between myself and the grandchildren.   How will they see love someday?
