Opinions? I've always been a fan of Heathens myself. Hoping to maybe catch a song or two I've let slip through the cracks that I might actually like if I paid enough attention.

Good choice.

I also like the one where he goes to the rock concerts as a kid, but misses Lynyrd Skynyrd .. don't know the name and too lazy to look it up.

It used to be Zip City but right now it's One of These Days.

i might say the same.

a few that i really like that seem to not got mentioned on the best of lists- panties in your purse seems criminally underrated (might not call it my favorite but very good), and world of hurt always is a favorite live.

This is pretty easy for me.


Cooley - Ghost To Most
Isbell - The Day John Henry Died
Patterson - None. His songs suck.

I'll agree with that. That dude is awful. The song where he screams about RONNIE AND NEAL RONNIE AND NEAL BLAH BLAH BLAH barf may be the worst fricking song I've ever heard.


On topic, I'll go with Zip City and Carl Perkins Caddy. But I don't think either one of them are great songs. Most DBT songs don't really flow very good IMO.

I tried to get the love for Zip City, but just never could. I do like Carl Perkins Caddy, and it's a good thing too, because that's one of the few that Sirius plays.

I can see that. I really like a small number of their songs. Not a band I can just put on and listen to all afternoon.

damn...

Your Daddy was mad as hell
He was mad at me and you
As he tied that chain to the front of my car and pulled me out of that ditch that we slid into
Don't know what his problem is
Why he keeps dragging you away
Don't know why I put up with this shite
When you don't put out and Zip City's so far away

Your Daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ
And He makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight
Your Mama's as good a wife and Mama as she can be
And your Sister's puttin' that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me
Your Brother was the first-born, got ten fingers and ten toes
And it's a damn good thing cause He needs all twenty to keep the closet door closed

Maybe it's the twenty-six mile drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights
Keeps my mind clean
Gets me through the night
Maybe you're just a destination, a place for me to go
A way to keep from having to deal with my seventeen-year-old mind all alone
Keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight
By the time you drop them I'll be gone
And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life

You say you're tired of me taking you for granted
Waiting' up till the last minute to call you up and see what you want to do
Well you're only fifteen, girl, you ain't got no secretary
And "for granted" is a mighty big word for a country girl like you
You know it's just your Daddy talking
Cause He knows that blood red carpet at the Salem Church of Christ
Ain't gonna ever see no wedding between me and you

Zip City it's a good thing that they built a wall around you
Zip up to Tennessee then zip back down to Alabama
I got 350 heads on a 305 engine
I get ten miles to the gallon
I ain't got no good intentions



i thought everyone loved that because most of us remember going through something similar
