What's some of the best chorus verses for country songs?


If drinking don't kill me her memory will
I can't hold out much longer the way that I feel
With the blood from my body I could start my own still
But if drinking don't kill me her memory will.

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

-David Allen Coe (songwriters Steve Goodman and John Prine)

If that ain't country,
It'll hair lip the pope
If that ain't country, it's a damn good joke
I've seen the grand ole opry,
And I've met johnny cash
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your arse

Some of my favorites.

I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain I don't know if he drowned
Or if he died on impact, he must have rolled three times
Yeah the only thing to make matters worse
That his mom was a late night ER nurse
He was DOA, she just about lost her mind.
--David - Cody Jinks

It was there I first met her
It was there that I lost my best friend
And now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind
And I may drown in still water
But I'll never swim Kern River again.
--Kern River - Merle Haggard

Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
And raise ourselves a family
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Seneca Creek
--Seneca Creek - Charles Wesley Godwin

Blow up your TV
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home.
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own.

I've been sayin', "Yes sir" all day at work
I've been sayin', "Yes ma'am" at home
I've been storin' up the frick yous
Keepin' 'em under my tongue

I need a little time off for bad behavior
The devil in me done been asleep too long
I need a little time off for bad behavior
It looks like I've been too good for too long

An underground one I like....

I cast no stones
What gives you the right
To tell me my business
Good God man
You're out of your mind

So put up your Bible
And let me get mine
I'm not dragging
the whole world to Hell
You're wasting my time
- Cody Jinks - Cast No Stones

Cause you see I'm a
Di-nosaur
I shoulda died out a
Long time before
Have pity on a
Di-nosaur
Hand me my hat
Excuse me man but where's the door
- Hank Jr. - Dinosaur

And just for fun
I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad
Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had
Now I'm empty, I'm not sad
Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

And I'm parked out by the lake
Eighty miles from Santa Fe
It's the lake that's parked where I'm at out by the lake
And this lake is where I'm parked
Eighty miles from Santa Fe
And I'm still parked out here by this lake
Eighty miles from Santa Fe

All my reason's now she is gone
Got no one there to talk to talk to and even though I know
I ought to got no reason now for go-in' home

I'm gonna hire a wino-to decorate our home
so you'll feel more at ease here and you won't have to roam
we'll tear out the living room carpet-put a bar along that wall
and when you've had too many-you won't have far to fall

I think that was Moe Bandy

They call me the old man in this bar, sleeves rolled up and showin
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been
One says "US Navy" and this one says "Darling Mary"
Now my Mary's turned to ashes and the ocean's turned to gin

And I sing ‘Precious Memories’,
take me back to the good ol’ days
Let me hear my Mama singing,
‘Rock of ages’ cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on to the devil’s ways
And I turned out to be the only hell my Mama ever raised.

Parallel bars, one at my feet, one on the opposite side of the street
We're two hearts that just can't meet... hide 'til the heartache's gone
We had words, we let fly, he took the low road and so did I
Straight downtown, and now here we are, working it out in parallel bars.

Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When the glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.

You may be there pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down".

- Harlan Howard

I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am

Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again
And try to hide the mood I'm really
I'll put on my old Instamatic grin
Yeah, tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

A few of David Alan Coe's have been mentioned, but I'll add this one

Now I lay me down to cheat
on the woman I love so
and if I die between these sheets
I pray to God she'll never know

Is anybody satisfied with who they really are?
You can be the moon, and still be jealous of the stars
You gotta learn to swim if you can't walk upon the sea
So I'm learning to live with me
