The odds a Top 100 country song will refer to alcohol are 1 in 5. The odds one of these songs will contain a reference to “mama” are 1 in 7.14. The odds one will contain a reference to the word “train” are 1 in 11.11 and the odds one will contain a reference to the word “prison” are 1 in 33.33. Least surprising, the odds one of the songs will contain a reference to tears or crying are 1 in 3.23.

Never was a big fan of country music, but have always had an ear for Coe, and Williams Jr.

In a good C&W song, the underlying theme is always LOVE or the lack thereof of something or someone. We can all relate to that.
When these things get out of balance we write songs about them. Knowing we are not the only ones with these issues helps us face the reality of life. Sometimes there’s a moral of truth that helps us avoid the same fate like “You Can’t Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd” or “Dang Me”.

Murray Mclauchlan summed up country music as, "Cowboys, truck drivers and pain."

Thanks for the memories, you two. I knew that would show up. A classic!

What do you get when you play a country song backwards?
You get your wife back, your job back, your pickup truck back, and you sober up.
See Rascal Flatts for details.

For some reason rap and hip hop songs are allowed to use the “N” word liberally without repercussion
