Country Correlations
Drinking and thinking about a better life.
Maybe one that also included a wife.
I know it is all more delusional thinking.
So, I forget about it and go back to drinking.
Drinking, , good old boys, and pickup trucks.
Living in the country and hunting ducks.
Drinking moonshine when it’s around.
Partying on the levee. That summer sound.
All adds up to my way of life.
Could all this include a wife?
It seems doubtful at this time.
After all, I’m just in my prime.
Now I know how it all starts.
The depression and broken hearts.
This way of life may not be best.
I just may not be up to the test.
Country music just makes it worse.
It just perpetrates this awful curse.
There has to be a way besides liquor
It surely can’t be becoming a city slicker.
Once there I’ll be toting a heavy load.
I’ll be singing “Take me home country roads.”
Yup, I can see. Country is the place for me.
Where’s that country lass that wants to be free?
