re: Why Country Music Was Awesome In 2013

Also, I said quit listening to the radio because you all base all of your Nashville arguments on what you hear on the radio. Quit listening to what you hear on the radio and go to Nashville and FIND the good country. What you'll find up there will absolutely destroy every song posted in the OP. :dropsmic:

"Elephant"

She said Andy you're better than your past,
winked at me and drained her glass,
cross-legged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore.
She said Andy you're taking me home,
but I knew she planned to sleep alone.
I'd carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor

If I hadd fricked her before she got sick
I'd never hear the end of it
she don't have the spirit for that now

We drink these drinks and laugh out loud,
bitch about the weekend crowd,
and try to ignore the elephant somehow
somehow

She said Andy you crack me up,
Seagrams in a coffee cup,
sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone.
When she was drunk she made cancer jokes,
she made up her own doctor's notes,
surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone.

I'd sing her classic country songs
and she'd get high and sing along.
She don't have much voice to sing with now

We'd burn these joints in effegy,
cry about what we used to be,
and try to ignore the elephant somehow.
Somehow

I buried her a thousand times,
giving up my place in line,
but I don't give a damn about that now

There's one thing that's real clear to me,
no one dies with dignity.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
Somehow.
Somehow.

there's a hell of a lot better stuff in Nashville than what you posted. Quit listening to the radio and go visit and FIND it

got to love cotton posting non major label artists/songs and KoNO telling him he has to dig deeper for the "real" nashville artists

Hate to break it to y'all, but Nashville didn't "ruin" country music. Lotta good burgers in this town; nobody forcing you to eat McDonald's. -Jason Isbell
