And all I want to do is quit my job and school, go back in to food service working for tips, live in my blue jeans, play with my dog, smoke cigarettes and drink beer in my free time, in a rocker on my front porch. And sing, man it makes me want to sing.


Somebody help me.

Song stuck in my head from my morning commute. :D

Brad Paisley - The World

To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, honey
All I've got to say is

Chorus
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world

To the waiter at the restaurant
You're just another tip
To the guy at the ice cream shop
You're just another dip
When you can't get reservations
'Cause you don't have the clout
Or you didn't get an invitation
'Cause somebody left you out
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've got to say is

Repeat chorus

You think you're one of millions, but you're one in a million to me
When you wonder if you matter, baby look into my eyes
And tell me, can't you see you're everything to me

That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've gotta say is

Repeat chorus

i dont know him, but i've had shooter jennings stuck in my head for three days.

Well the songs I make, they ain't for livin'
And the things I take, they ain't for givin'
I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'
For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight

Well my mistakes give me my reputation
But them old sad songs were my education
And when I drift back home, I start to missin'
Some rowdy women, to pacify my mind


Cause i have been high, I have been low
I've lost my mind, and I stole the show
I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'
For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight


I nearly had one wife, she took to leavin'
Because of all my lies, she stopped believin'
and now I'm nine miles high, let me be forgivin'
For givin' some rowdy women, a little piece of my mind

Chorus:
Cause i have been high, I have been low
I've lost my mind, and I stole the show
I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'
For some rowdy women
For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight


its driving me insane.

I was afraid you were going to say 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk' was what you were listening to

Shooter Jennings is pretty good in my book, although I have been tagged a redneck on more than one occasion

I LOVE that video. Trace is playing the Fredneck Fair this Friday and my wife is going to the show with all her 20-something girlfriends. They are all sharing a hotel room, getting liquored up and likely to end up on one of those MILFy sites linked to thehun by 10:00am Saturday morning. :twitch:

Myself, I'm more of a Waylon/Willie/Merle/Jones/Bocephus-type 'neck.

They used to play country in our office non-stop until myself and the other resident "hippies" rose up and got 'em to settle on classic rock.

Look for the song "Bum Leg" by Big Tobacco. One of the most beautiful songs you are likely to hear.

Hank III anybody?
Hell yeah!!!the guy i bought my upright bass from played with him for several shows. the guy is awesome cause his country stuff is the old school type. he sounds a hell of alot like Hank Sr. in lots of his songs. I dont care much for his metal though.

All it makes me want to do is laugh at its complete lack of creativity, as you just described the lyrical topic of 80% of contry music.
Are you serious? I mean i agree when it comes to popularized country crap...but Hank III is badass in the way his grandfather was...he is the only one truly holding country to some kind of standard. Not only that but if you go to one of his shows the first half of the show is country honky tonk and the second is full on heavy metal. he warns the audience beforehand so the non-metal fans can leave. usually there are metal heads waiting outside and they go in when his second set starts and all the people that dont like metal music leave.

he truly is NOT what country is today...

Q. You know what you get when you play a country album backwards?
A. Your dog, wife and truck back.

Speaking of country... Anyone see Willie's latest legal woes? I guess a citation isn't too bad, all things considered. True country rockers kick so much ass.
