Laugh at these real country lyrics!:
"She thinks my tractor's sexy, she thinks my tractor's sexy, and it turns her on!" I just about died when I heard that one, tears were streaming down my face! "Cowboys like us, shor do have fun, catching the wind, chasing the sun!" That one is just lame. "It's the boot-scoot! the boot-scoot-boogie!" I'm not gonna say anymore. :rofl: |

country flavored wisdom
when listening to country music, or any music for that matter, it's good to read the entire lyric, for what it says as a whole, instead of just isolating one or two lines.
most country music is a story of one sort or another, sometimes couched in slightly corny venacular. but there's usually quite a bit of wisdom about the basics of life interwoven in country lyrics. you often find fairly deep subjects covered in simple, down-home terms. here are three examples i can think of that demonstrate well-written country lyrics: Richest Man on Earth I've heard tell of millionaires And billionaires and such Who gathered all their treasures And still did not have enough If money could buy peace of mind I guess they'd have it all But all the money in the world Won't hold you when you fall Chorus: We've got a roof over our head And the kids have all been fed And the woman I love most Lies close beside me in our bed Lord, give me the eyes to see Exactly what it's worth And I will be the richest man on earth Lord, when I wish I had the things That you gave someone else I pray that you'll forgive me For just thinkin' of myself I haven't been as thankful As I know I ought to be I should be more then satisfied With all you've given me We've got a roof over our head And the kids have all been fed And the woman I love most Lies close beside me in our bed Lord, give me the eyes to see Exactly what it's worth And I will be the richest man on earth Yes, I will be the richest man on earth By Paul Overstreet ------------------ Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine "How old do you think I am," he said? I said, well, I didn't know. He said, "I turned 65 about 11 months ago." I was sittin' in Miami, pouring blended whiskey down When this old gray, black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge. There wasn't anyone around, except this old man and me. The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TV. Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind On old dogs and children and watermelon wine. "Ever had a drink of watermelon wine?" he asked. He told me all about it, though I didn't answer back. "Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime, But old dogs and children and watermelon wine." He said, "Women think about themselves, when men-folk ain't around. And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down." He said, "I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime, Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine." "Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes. God bless little children while they're still too young to hate." When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line About old dogs and children and watermelon wine. I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day. As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change. That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime, And old dogs and children and watermelon wine. By Tom T. Hall -------------- I'm Gonna Hire a Wino To Decorate Our Home I came crawling home last night, like many nights before: I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door. And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore...." She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home, "So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam. "We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall. "And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall." She said: "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here. "And I'll keep on tap - for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer. "And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans. "And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man." She said: "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor. "Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more. "There'll be Monday night football, on T.V. above the bar. "And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car." She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home, "So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam. "We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall. "And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall." She said: "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere. "I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here. "Then you can slap my bottom, every time you tell a joke. "Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke." She said: "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl, "When the Hamm's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl. "And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank. "You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank." She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino, to decorate our home, "So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam. "When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst. "There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first." She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home, "So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam. "We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall. "And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall." By DeWayne Blackwell |

Yeah, country music has shite lyrics [/sarcasm]
Why do people pick the worst songs, and then try to generalize. These lyrics are better than anything that SabrinaMaher or madeinNY could write: I Hung My Head Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bread on him to practice my aim My brother's rifle went off in my hand A shot rang out across the land The horse he kept running, the rider was dead I hung my head, I hung my head I set off running to wake from the dream And my brother's rifle went into the stream I kept on running into the salt lands And that's where they found me, my head in my hands The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run" Then it came to me just what I had done And all for no reason, just one piece of lead I hung my head, I hung my head Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there I see the judge high up in his chair "Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find" I said "I felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead" I hung my head, I hung my head Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill And out in the distance a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain He's come to fetch me to see what they done We'll ride together til Kingdom come I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead I hung my head, I hung my head |
^johnny cash is country God...I would never try to match him.

as to the reference about "Achy Breaky Heart", most country fans hate that song - it became a hit partly because of the video and partly because it was a danceable song. but a lyrical and melodic masterpiece it's not. i would venture to say that it's one of the worst songs ever written or recorded. as to Boot Scootin' Boogie, that is also a dance-oriented song, with very little depth. as with most dance-oriented music of any style, the lyrics are relatively unimportant, compared to the 'beat'. but it's rare in country that the danceability of a song takes precedence over the song's meaning. country music, like all music, has its gems and classics, and its forgettable lowpoints. the examples i gave in the previous post are in the first category, with Achy Breaky Heart definitely in the second. but even the worst country songs can generally be followed and understood, even if they're corny and poorly written. the trouble with a lot of rock and pop songs is that you can listen to them several times, and you will have no idea what the subject matter is about. sometimes it's because the vocals are mixed in such a way as to be buried within the other tracks, other times it's because the lyrics are so pathetic that the artists and producers would prefer that you not know what they're singing about. or it can be a combination of the two. |
you mean boot scoot boogie has no depth?!! dayyyuummm!

Faith Hill - Cry If I had just one tear running down your cheek Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep If I had just one moment at your expense Maybe all my misery would be well spent Yeah.... Could you cry a little Lie just a little Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain I gave now I 'm wanting Something in return So cry just a little for me If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me And you'd hunt those lies They'd be all you'd ever find And that'd be all you'd have to know For me to be fine Yeah.... And you'd cry a little Die just a little and baby I would feel just a little less pain I gave now I'm wanting Something in return So cry just a little for me Give it up baby I hear your goodbye Nothins goin save me I can see it it your eyes Some kind of heartache Darlin give it a try I dont want pity I just want what is mine Yeah... Could you cry a little Lie just a little Pretend that your're feeling a little more pain I gave now I'm wanting Something in retrun So cry just a little for me Yeah...

^ i remember that song!!

i hate that song.

"You could set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille" ...WOW! The state of popular country music is..well, sad really... |
I've heard this song and I gotta say that it was freakin hilarious. My friends and I were making up so many jokes about it because it was so funny.
"She thinks my tractor's sexy, she thinks my tractor's sexy, and it turns her on!" Just a weird thing to say in a song even for country. |
okay....idk why that is so wierd about "she thinks my tractors sexy" if in like all the rap songs talk about is ''sex'' and big ''booty's"......lol

I think Elvis Costello said it best that country music has been reduced to Journey with cowboy hats and southern accents.

You can always tell someone who thinks their **** doesn't stink. You know every genre has equally moronic lyrics? Just because you clowns think your lives suck and that as you get older its just a depressing black spiral doesn't mean that nu-metal lyrics (or any metal for that matter) are any better.
If I were facist, I'd delete the thread because it just seems like spam. |
new country is complete garbage, there are a hand full of artists out there making REAL country music with little to no funding. You do NOT need a 64 track mixing board to make a country album, the people out there making Real country are the real GANGSTA'S
