Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Greatest Single Lyric of Country Music?

She wasn't lookin at me, she was lookin at my boots

I tried to drink her pretty but she's still about two fifteen
Sometimes you just got to bow up and take one for the team

Toby Keith

My hat don't hang on the same nail too long, my ears can't stand to hear the same old song. Merl Haggard

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then..

Is that a country lyric? If not I nominate it.

Well said. Thank you. Going through some tough times.

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you.

God may forgive you but I won't.

Well... The devil went down to the 12 inch mill
He was lookin fer a soul to steal
He was in a bind and way behind
He was lookin to make a deal

He come across a young man
flipping tails and acting hot
The devil jumped up on the laying head
and said boy let me tell you what

Now, you flip pretty good tails, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a hook of gold, against your soul
To think I'm better'n you

And the boy said "my name's Johnny"
And it might be a sin
But I'll take that bet and you'll regret it
Cause I'm the best they's ever been

Oh, Johnny polish up your hook
And throw those cutters away
Cause the devil's loose at the layin head
And there'll be hell to pay

And if you win you'll take the devils golden hook today
But if you lose he'll take your fans away!!!

The devil smiled with a wicked grin
And said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his finger tips
as he twirled that hook of gold

Then a snapper cracked right through the cage
And the devil he looked scared
But in the twinkling of an eye
Ol' Johnny stood right there

Together they worked side by side
With hooks of gold and steel
And by the time they'd fixed that tail
The two had struck a deal

The devil kept his hook of gold
And Johnny kept his fans
And the story's told unto this day
Amongst the finishing hands

How hell's too hot for Johnny
Or so that it would seem
But a steel mill is a meaner place
Than the devil's wildest dreams

Billets in the reheat
Let the mill roll
Roller, will we change over
No! Hell no!!!

Hello Darling

I’d rather hear a fat girl fart than a pretty boy sing

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

updated to the modern era:

"Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a Lesbian's wife..."

I've got a good Christian raisin and an 8th grade education, ain't no reason you all treating me this way!



Or---- he's 34 and drinking in a honky tonk, just kicking hippies asses and raisin hell


Or------ redneck, white socks and blue ribbon beer

Pickin' up hookers, instead of my pen, I let the words of my youth fade away

Maybe not classic but a good one in my opinion:

"Don't throw me no funeral,
sister don't cry,
saw that fiddler, brother
Pass that shine..."
