Thread Name: Typical Country Song Titles
Subject: RE: Typical Country Song Titles
There's no such thing as "typical" country song titles.

But they sure can be creative.

One of my current favorites is "My Tears Have Washed 'I Love You' From the Blackboard of My Heart".   I'm going to sing it with a bluegrass/ country band at my mother and step-father's retirement community on 13 Jan.   There are usually about 200 in the audience for these events--every two months. I'll probably squeeze it in by saying it's in honor of the new school semester.

Country songs do a lot of extended metaphors--which is great with me since I collect them.

Another one I have on tape and will probably learn and sing soon is "Waiting in the Lobby of Your Heart"--another terrible predicament, I'm sure.
