guess it shows how easy it is to write a country and western hit [just includes stuff about dogs, pickup trucks, drinking, girlfriends, wives, divorce ... the usual]
This is the ONLY ‘country’ song you’ll ever need to get you through Life:
‘Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine.’ Tom T. Hall ;)

It is not easy to write the perfect country and western song.
Takes a rewrite or another verse :)

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country & western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song
Because he hadn’t said anything at all about mama
Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting’ drunk
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
And after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song
And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here
