John Prine's Dear Abby. Or this from his other little gem, All the Best:

I wish you don't do like I do
And ever fall in love with someone like you

Anybody remember a song Sammy Kershaw had out several years ago - Queen of the Double Wide Trailer? At first I thought that was the most idiotic thing I had ever heard. After I listened to it a few times I thought it almost brilliant:

She said He rebuilds engines and his name is Earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench

And then of course, there's the saga of why Paddy can't come to work today (The Excuse Note).
