Sounds like a classic from the start. Good tongue-in-cheek humor. This song comes full circle and ends on an upbeat tone. NUMBER ONE in Traditional Country - July, October 2001, NUMBER ONE in Australia - October 2002 |
CD: Ain't Plain Country
Label: Bob Grez Productions

Story Behind the Song
Everyone would joke about what happens when you play a country record backwards (the dog comes back to life, the truck is OK, the ex-wife comes back home, and the like). Well I wrote this song to reinforce that initially. Well it took on a life of its own and the song was able to stand on its own two feet. I like performing it because it gets a few laughs. I really enjoy the traditional music emitted by the piano.
This song was inspired within a couple of hours, but it took a couple of weeks to step it right and sequence the words for the logical progressions toward that end. I usually record my songs within 2 to 4 takes of about an hour or two per take and this song was about in the middle of the road.
Lyrics
MY LIFE IS LIKE A 100 COUNTRY SONGS
My life is like a hundred country songs
Everything I thoughtd be right turned out wrong
With my job, my girl, my truck. Im shoot out of luck
Thats why my lifes like a 100 country songs.
My boss said my work was gettin kinda slow
Even though I did twice more than I know.
When I asked for more dough, the answer was no
Heres a pink slip for askin. Out you go!
My darlin said I no longer filled her needs
When my credit card was full from her shoppin sprees
She kicked me in the rear, she said Im outa here.
No more money, so its time for me to leave.
Im kinda sad cause she took my old pickup.
Cant run fast to chase her for that truck.
But I must have some good luck, cause I found that pickup stuck.
You see you cant buy gas when you aint got a buck.
My life is like a hundred country songs
Everything I thoughtd be right aint quite all wrong
With my job, my girl, my truck, Im still shoot out of luck
Thats why my lifes like a 100 country songs.
