Thread Name: Typical Country Song Titles
Subject: RE: Typical Country Song Titles
From the first listing:

How Can I Miss You If You Won't Leave scans properly in the original "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away."

and wrong sequencing on

If I Hadn't Shot Her When I Met Her I'd Be out of Jail by Now which is "If I'd Shot Her When I Met Her I'd Be Out of Jail by Now."

(It's about being trapped in an unhappy relationship.)

A really fun one that never made the big time charts was the simple "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly."

You almost have to know the song to appreciate the title, but a real classic is Thank God And Greyhound

(For the unaware, Greyhound is a transcontinental bus line in the US.)
