Country Boy These Days
Liner Notes
I feel sure that this song will get me a spot during next year's All-American Halftime Show.
Lyrics
I just wanna catch a fish I just wanna feed my dog I just wanna drive my truck I just wanna split a log
I just wanna drink my beer Watch TV Lower my A1C
Well, it's hard to be a country boy these days
I just wanna go outside I just wanna wear a hat I just wanna shoot my gun I just wanna feed my cat
I just wanna ride my horse I just wanna pump some gas I just wanna milk a cow I just wanna smoke some grass
I just wanna dig a hole, eat a pie Get another DUI
Well, it's hard to be a country boy these days
I just wanna meet a girl and take her to all the dances I'd like to meet Chris Hansen under better circumstances I wanna take my rusted-out Chevy to the dump And pledge my allegiance to President [redacted]
I just wanna throw a ball I just wanna fight a bear I just wanna feed a squirrel I just wanna grow my hair
I just wanna change my oil, learn to read Get a colonoscopy
Well, it's hard to be a country boy these days
I just wanna mow my lawn I just wanna change the world I just wanna play guitar I just wanna fight a squirrel
I just wanna Bar-B-Que I just wanna smoke some crack I just wanna eat some cheese And "Take Are Country Back"
I just wanna join the Klan, praise the South Put my words in Jesus' mouth
Well, it's hard to be a country boy these days Well, in this woke-ass world, you can't even bash the gays Well, it's hard to be a country boy these days
It's hard to be a country boy these days

Very well executed :) Some very nice lines in there. The Chris Hansen one in particular. And who doesn't want to fight a squirrel? They're just rats with fluffy tails after all.

GOLD. LOL I was just talking about this with my wife, saying how can I even write a "country" song if I'm none of those things? Enjoyed immensely!

This is pure genius, and you had me laughing all the way! Perfect.

The best part is that somebody not listening closely could easily miss the satire and respond to this as though it's the genuine article. Not sure whether to laugh or cry - but bang-on execution.

I know satire when I hear it, not sure the AAHTS audience would take it too well if they were paying attention to the 2nd part! Well done indeed!

He's not asking for much, really. Great list for lyrics. Felt a little bit bad for the squirrel, but things got worse as the singer got to the end. "Put my words in Jesus' mouth" is a powerful line. Guess I'll have to listen to a few more of yours now.
