All my exes live in Texas.
I tried to drink her pretty but she's still about two fifteen
I love this bar
At night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
She came to me one evening a cup of coffee and a smile
There's tons of em out there. Fun thread

“Have you ever heard a Whip-o-Wil just before he dies”
Is that an alternative lyric, or did you make it up? It's good. I kind of made it up. It’s off of an old Hank Williams tune he supposedly wrote in a hour while flying on an airliner. Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the clouds To hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

When the sun comes up tomorrow something’s gonna ache. Who ever said it must have been 30ish. When you get closer to 50 something always aches, no need to wait for the sun to come up.

Dang, I ain’t read the whole thread. Holy smokes, 11 pages and counting! When I read the title, my mind went straight to “I was drunk the day my mom got outta prison”. Great Country Song! I don’t know if you can get more country than that. But there’s just too many great songs, too many great stories, too many great lyrics that run through my mind! I guess I’ve always sorta lived as Waylon sang, “I’ve always been crazy, but it’s kept me from going insane”! 7mm

And if it looks like we were scared to death Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other You should've seen it in color Yeah, a picture's worth a thousand words But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered You should've seen it in color
This one came to mind first.

"Postman delivered, a past due bill notice and the alarm clock rang two hours late. Garbage man left all the trash on the sidewalk, and the hinges fell off of the gate.

So many good songs from country music, but to my mind, this is a masterpiece. https://youtu.be/ad9De8V07a4

Being from Kentucky and the son of a coal miner, I guess I have to add this one since I can empathize:
"I was born a coal miner's daughter. In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler. We were poor but we had love, that's the one thing Daddy made sure of. He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar."

A little John Conlee:
“These Rose colored glasses, that I’ve been looking through, Show only the beauty, cause they hide all the truth And they let me hold on to the good times, good lines The ones I used to hear when I held you And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated When reflections in your eyes show me a fool”
And from Ray Price: “Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real You're someone else's love now you're not mine Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed And that's why I'm lonely all the time”
And one from George Straight: “He talks to angels and the stars start to spin He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in He recalls how his heart got broken And how it's still that way The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise He can smile while he's cryin' inside We know he'll be brave tonight 'cause he's the king of broken hearts”
And some Dwight Yoakum: “He said listen to me son while you still can, run back home to that Southern land Don't you see, what life here has done to me Then he closed those old blue eyes, and fell limp, against my side No more pain, and now he's safe back home in Dixie
And I sang Dixie, as he died But people just walked on by, as I cried The bottle had robbed him, of all his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died
I sang Dixie as he, died”
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
