My Life in Country

Clerk Kent's picture

If you had to boil down your life to a fake Country song title, what would it be?

The chap at the desk next to me, struggling with a new software package just exclaimed, “I’m right but I don’t want to be right”. Top that.

Not exactly proper country...

... but how about "Everyone thinks I'm paranoid"?

And is "Livin' Single Drinkin' Double" a real song? Its one of those ones that gets mentioned a lot...

Five O'Clock Somewhere

Many mornings/lunchtimes in County Donegal are spent debating whether or not to have the first pint of Guinness for the day. Inevitably someone says "Sure, its five o'clock somewhere".

This usually leads to none of us actually seeing five o'clock, mind you!

"If You Have To Ask, The Answer's No".

Made up. My favourite real one being the seminal "When you leave me, walk out backwards so I think you're coming in".

Country brackets

They always seem to use them, don't they? A few years ago, some friends and I formed an imaginary country/folk group. I've long forgotten most of our song titles, but...

1) It's Hard to be Hard (When You're Soft on the Drink)
2) Yesterday's Sandwiches, Tomorrow's Children.
3) I Only Drink on Calendar Days
4) Can Stephen Hawkins' Voicebox (do a Cheeky Camp Hurrah)
5) The Devil Went Down to George Best.

I liked Rich Hall's take on what makes "true country "

(on Room 101, when he picked fake country like Garth Brooks).

Real country is:

- pouring bourbon on your cornflakes

- eating dinner out of a frisbee.

Maybe real, maybe not....

I'm just a crumb in your breadbox of love.

There's a little box of pine on the seven twenty-nine

And this one is (I think) from the sleevenotes of a Stephen Bishop album:

I'm so miserable now you're gone, it's almost like having you here.

This

I Still Miss My Man (But My Aim is Getting Better)

is a book title but I think it would make a great song title.... and perhaps it already was. Does anyone know?
