Kevin Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 You can take your Aristotle or Confucius , etc. , and shove them up yer arse . Country music has better lines and wisdom by far Poppa Love Mama - Garth Brooks Papa drove a truck nearly all his life You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife The part she couldn't handle was the being alone I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone Papa called Mama each and every night Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright Mama would wait for that call to come in When Daddy'd hang up then she was gone again Mama was a looker Lord, how she shined Papa was a good'n But the jealous kind Papa loved Mama Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pen Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did Papa came home and it was just us kids He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine I heard him cry for mama up and down the hall Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall That old diesel engine made an eerie sound When Papa fired it up and headed into town Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well Papa's rig was buried in the local motel The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears Mama was a looker Lord, how she shined Papa was a good'n But the jealous kind Papa loved Mama Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 'Flowers On The Wall ' - The Statler Brothers I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do Don't tell me I've nothin' to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 George Jones " He Stopped Loving Her Today ' He said, "I'll love you till I die." She told him,"You'll forget in time." As the years went slowly by She still prayed upon his mind He kept her picture on the wall Went half crazy now and then He still loved her through it all Hoping she'd come back again Kept some letters by his bed Dated 1962 He had underlined in red Every single "I love you" I went to see him just today Oh, but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile in years He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today Spoken: You know, she came to see him one last time, We all wondered if she would And it kept running through my mind This time he's over her for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's true though. You'll find more honest sentiment and wisdom in Country music than any other. In the country, we call it Country Dumb.... Y'all can think we're bumpkins, and laugh .... these guys were laughing all the way to the bank!

Uncle Joe Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 When I was in the army and stationed in Germany we had a guy in our platoon who was from Georgia and he played this song every single day for about 3 months. Finally one of us grabbed the .45 record and smashed it to smitherines. Red Sovine Giddy-Up-Go Lyrics The highways that wind and wander over mountain and valleys deserts and plains I guess I've drove about all of 'em Cause for the past 25 years now the cab of a truck has been my home And it'd be kinda hard for me to settle down and not be on the go Why I remember the first truck I drove I was so proud I could hardly wait to get home to show my wife and my little boy And my little boy was so excited like so when he saw his first snow He wasn't old enough to say too many words He just kept hollering goddyup go daddy giddyup go So that's what I named the old truck Giddyup go Oh things wasn't too bad of course I's gone a lot And after about six years I got home one day and found my wife and little boy gone I couldn't find out what happened nobody seemed to know So from that day on it's been me and old Giddyup go I've made a lot of friends at all the truck stops And some of 'em would kick me about my litle sign Of course they knew where I got the name Cause I told 'em about that little boy of mine And how his first word about that old truck was Giddyup go Today I was barrelin' down old 66 When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig Both stacks of blowin' black coal And as she pulled around and back in front of me a big lump came in my throat And my eyes watered like I had a bad old cold A little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddyup go Well I pushed old Giddyup go stayed right on him Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup Well we got to talkin' shop and I said Now did you come by the name on your truck Giddyup go Well he said I got it from my pop Dad used to drive a truck that's what mom talked about a lot You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen and I lost all track of pop Mom said he got the name from me I shook his hand and told him that I had something I wanted him to see I took him out to the old truck And brushed off some of the dirt so the name would show And his eyes got big and bright as he read Giddyup go Oh we had a lot of things to talk about and buddy I felt like a king And now we've just pulled back on old 66 and he's handled that big rig Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever seen Well now the lines on the highway have got much brighter glow As we go roarin' down the road and me starin' at a little sign that reads Giddyup go I couldn't find Red Sovine's version on youtube but here it is by Tex Williams. Giddy Up Go Now play that ad nauseum for 90 days and see if it doon't make ya wanna smash it to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Good country advice: You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Always swim upstream from the cattle.

blind-fitter Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 "Alone In The Make-Out Room" - The Broken Family Band I want you to die with my hands round your throat Or with me in the castle and you in the moat And everyone you know stood around laughing I wanna watch you swing from a tree Or fry in the chair while you're looking at me And everyone in the world will be glad when you're gone Oh, it's silly to say we were never happy All those nights we spent kissing under the moon But I died inside when you ran out with my pride Why did you leave me alone in the make-out room? I wanna watch you drown in a lake Or get stamped by a bull or bit by a snake And there is not a single doctor who will come and help you I want you to move to Australia With me a success and you facing failure And all of the friends you had ignoring your calls Oh, it's silly to say we were never happy All those nights we spent kissing under the moon But I died inside when you ran out with my pride Why did you leave me alone in the make-out room? I wanna leave you by the side of the road Or out in a field in the rain and the snow People walking past could come and take pictures I'm gonna treat you the best that I can 'Cause I'm your girl and you're my man And we'll make 'em jealous with our laughing and our carrying on Oh, it's silly to say we were never happy All those nights we spent kissing under the moon But I died inside when you ran out with my pride Why did you leave me alone in the make-out room?

Elvish Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Another Waylon & Willie song that is all tangled up with childhood memories. Whenever my dad got together with friends, pickin' and grinnin' I'd always request this one Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis, And each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young, He'll prob'ly just ride away. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love. Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings, Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night. Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do, Sometimes won't know how to take him. He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him, Do things to make you think he's right. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
