What do you expect?
An extraordinary woman who labored several hours to give birth to me once said that the songs I write are "Trailer trash." Well let me tell you something, the woman I have the highest respect for, that's country music. It ain't trashy but its been known to talk about trailers, and drinking beer and hurting, crying, cheating. Country singers don't sing about nonsense and lifestyles that no one really lives and chances of occurring are about the same as seeing a solar eclipse. Its everyday life;real life. I cant sing a lie so I ain't even going to try. Oh wait, that could be a song! Oh but then again maybe its a little too truthful for today's audience. At any rate when it comes to getting through the day I want to listen to someone who knows how I feel. Most people feel the same about their favorite genre of music. They want to relate. It is no secret if you don't know how it feels to ride in a truck or cry your eyes out over someone that did you wrong, or shooting bull and guns with good friends, then good chances are you wont like country music. But make no mistake there are people out there that do those things. But really, me listening to rap, its a bit odd and hypocritical, don't ya think. And to those people who hate me or complain because "I'm too country," what the heck did you expect?
