Country Music Songs- Just My Take
I love country music…grew up on, breathe it, eat it, love the heck out of it. I enjoy other music too, but my musical roots are country. Occasionally, however, the message of the song makes me do a double take and say "what the….!". Lets take a look at my favorite ones…
1. Whoever’s in New England (by Reba McEntire)- "When whoever’s in New England’s through with you and Boston finds better things to do, you know it’s not too late and you’ll always have a place to come back to"…. I don’t think so, Sir! When that frigid Yankee skank is done with you, don’t be bringing your nappy ass home to me…as if!
2. Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me (by Faith and Tim) –Okay, can we say codependent? They have drugs to help with that now. I mean, if I have to jump through hoops, rope moons, or turn my head so much that sucker’s swiveling like a gyroscope just so that can I hear some undeserving yahoo say "I love you", then I need someone to kick me in the ass.
3. Stay (by Sugarland)—Do I even need to say it? "You keep saying that there will come a time, you will leave her arms and forever be in mine, but I don’t think that’s the truth and I don’t like being used and I’m tired of waiting" She is doing the Posturpedic Polka with another woman’s husband and seems confused that he would lie to her…HELLO! Fortunately, she comes to her senses at the end, but I feel she is missing the point…"it’s too much pain to have to bear, to love a man you have to share"—you’re not sharing, you homewrecking ho, you are stealing, big difference. It’s only sharing if everybody knows what’s going on.
4. Now I Know (Lari White)—"I always wondered how’d I live without you if you ever said goodbye"…I know, I know (raising my hand) oooo, maybe get a life of your own? Staggering, I know, but others have done it and survived.
That’s all for now, just had to vent on it a little. Warning: this week will not be cheery and upbeat…the holidays wreak havoc on me. But stay tuned for the ever escalating doom, gloom and bad will towards all and to a few in particular.
