The best of the worst country song titles

Minneapolis Star Tribune ^ | 4/25/03 | Mike Harden

[okie01]

"I Won't Lay Momma's Silver For A Man Who Won't Say Grace"

[tet68]

I think he forgot,"Drop kick me Jesus, through the goal posts of life".

[woofie]

"Your Fruit Plate Aint Nothin But Sour Grapes"

[HHFi]

Some more good ones (and notice that country music could not exist if it weren't for the invention of parentheses)...

"If You Could Just Remember (What I Can't Forget)"

"I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink"

"A Man Can Be A Drunk Sometimes (But A Drunk Can't Be A Man)"

"Your Wife's Been Cheatin' On Us Again"

"If You Don't Quit Checkin' On Me, I'm Checkin' Out On You"

"Ride 'Em Jewboy" -- Kinky Friedman, of course

"I Still Hold Her Body (But I Think I've Lost Her Mind)"

(When Your Phone Don't Ring) It'll Be Me"

"Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind"

"I'm The Only Hell My Mama's Ever Raised"

"All I Want From You Is Away"

"She Still Comes Around (To Love What's Left of Me)"

"What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me"

"Red Necks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer"

"If You Loved A Liar (You'd Hug My Neck)"

"Heaven's Just A Sin Away"

And one of my favorites, from Lyle Lovett...

"I Married Her Just Because She Looked Like You"

[tet68]

David Allen Coe:

Wish I could find that X-rated DAC album.
"It'll only hurt for a little while,
I'll just put the ____of it in."

[salmon76]

It's not just country songs that are bad. I remember these lyrics from a song when I was growing up in the '70s:

"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ... "

The song writer must have been doing acid or something.

[Judith Anne]

Has anyone besides me ever heard, "Leave the backporch light on"?

[blastdad51]

"How can I miss you if you won't go away"

Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks

[Libloather]

I Ain't Broke (But I'm Badly Bent)

We have a request from *Billy Jeff...

[Uncle Meat]

Frank Zappa did a song busting out on country music called "Harder than your husband".Pinkard and Bowden have one named"I 'd rather hear a fat girl fart,than a pretty boy sing"[poking fun at the so called"new country"]

[WKB]

Wish I could find that X-rated DAC album. "It'll only hurt for a little while, I'll just put the ____of it in."

Yep that's the one. Where to find it I don't know!!

[Rhetorical pi2]

"Here's a Quarter, call someone who cares"

Was that the guy in the black hat?...can't think of his name.

[ErnBatavia]

"I made her the queen of my doublewide trailer"
(With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck...)

It's real!

Lyrics

[Mr. Mulliner]

I didn't know that was the name of a song. I've got a friend from near Nashville who says that all the time when he's low on money.

[catherine of alexandria]

I was just on DAC's official website tonight.

www.officialdavidallancoe.com.

all kinds of explicit goodies are available for purchase in CD or cassette, if I am sure.

[DainBramage]

She got the coal mine and I got the shaft

[ErnBatavia]

re link on 33 - avoid!!!! dunno what happened. It was supposed to be the lyrics to "Doublewide Trailer", but clicking it gives a whole other world.

[WKB]

Thanks.

[jude24]

This should be a classic....

[Shooter 2.5]

"You can't have your Kate and Edith too"
