Don't rock the juke box
I wanna hear George Jones.
My heart ain't a-ready
For the Rollin' Stones.
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone...
So don't rock the juke box
Play me a country song!

3. Bubba shot the jukebox. Last night.
Said it played a sad song, he didn't like. Went to his truck and got a .45.

Reckless discharge of a gun, that's what the officers' is claimin'. Bubba hollered out "Reckless Hell, I hit just where I was aimin'!"

He could not tell right from wrong through the teardrops in his eyes. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, it was a justifiable homocide.

goodies!

Also love-

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
Papa called Mama each and every night
Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
Mama would wait for that call to come in
When Daddy'd hang up she was gone again

Mama was a looker
Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good'n
But the jealous kind
Papa loved Mama
Mama loved men
Mama's in the graveyard
Papa's in the pen

Well it was bound to happen and one night it did
Papa came home and it was just us kids
He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was lookin' to surprise us he was doin' fine
I heard him cry for Mama up and down the hall
Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When Papa fired it up and headed into town

Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
Papa's rig was buried in the local motel
The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears

Mama was a looker
Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good'n
But the jealous kind
Papa loved Mama
Mama loved men
Mama's in the graveyard
Papa's in the pen

5. The Garth-Mon!
He was brilliant for a few years. The Elvis of country, given how much he raised and changed the standards of the industry in the early nineties.

Too bad the Nashville music executives regained control. My favorite line about country music is from Ray Wylie Hubbard's "Conversation with the Devil," about a dream of going to Hell, and having a back and forth conversation with the Devil. The singer is asking the Devil about whose going to Heaven. "What you won't find up in Heaven are christian coalition right wing conservatives, Country program directors and Nashville record executives."
The singer's response: "Now I said I've made some mistakes, but I'm not as bad as those guys..."
