I found a country song through this little cover project I got going and I am shocked to say that it's fast becoming an all-time favorite of mine...
It's called "The Chicks Dig It" by Chris Cagle and has a bit of a Spin Doctors flavor to it, musically. It's about all the stupid things he did as a boy to impress the girls around him...
But the best thing is that it opens with the punchline to a joke:
"Hey y'all! Watch this!"
I love this song...
quote:Scars heal, glory fades All we're left with are the memories made Pain hurts, but only for a minute Life is short so go on and live it 'Cause the chicks dig it...

I do like that song.
I also like
quote:When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune We’ll all meet back at the local saloon We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Although I disapprove of giving beer to horses.
It's a waste of beer.

Sorry Dag, I hate that song.
Oh, the music is great, but the words--:
quote: Justice is the one thing we should always find...
What about Love, Faith, God, Compassion? Nope--just vigilantic justice.
However, there are some great Country lyrics out there. Look up, "What was I thinkin" by Montgomery Gentry.

"What was I Thinkin'" is by Dierks Bently
I sing that song, too, and I have to consciously work to not introduce it as being by "Dirk Gently"
It's a lot of fun to replace the words "little white tank top" with something a girl in the audience is wearing and see what the reaction is...

What was I thinking is hysterical. Been there, done that, although mine involved heading off the bunny slope too soon rather than a gun-toting father.

Am I the only one who thought "Hell freezes over" was the name of the country song you like?
Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
maybe, the rest of us know that "Hell Freezes Over" is not a song but the name of the Eagles reunion tour...

another good one is reba's single "Somebody". the video is also good. she's either portraying fate or cupid.
