I think you'll always find a lot of John Prine songs in a thread like this. Here's one from PARADISE

Where the air smelled like snakes, and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

Here's a traditional one I've always loved:

Ev'ry time I come to town
The boys keep kickin' my dawg aroun';
Makes no diff'rence if he is a houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.

(HOUND DOG SONG)
