    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.
