Thread Name: How to write a country song --TIPS PLEASE?
Subject: RE: How to write a country song --TIPS PLEASE?

I'm kinda bored at work now, so I though add some more things. Remember a real cowboy has expirenced most of these, and can well belive the rest will happen to him. Only a real country person (not country music, country as in lives in the country.) can write country music

Signs you could write a country song:
Your significant other expects you to smell like manure everywhere
You would have guests sleep in the hayloft. (and have done so yourself)
You have electric lights, but you still heat with wood.
After doing a days work you have less then 8 hours to play, eat, and sleep.
You gross $30,000 a year, owe the bank over a million, and expect to pay that off
Your love your job enough to endure the above

I don't qualify for any of the above. My neighbors do, which is why I drive to the cities for a easy job.
