More Country Music for Laughin', Lovin' and Livin' It Up: (Another 510 Lines from Country Songs That May Someday Be Written) Marvin Newport

Country songs have always included their fair share of crazy lyrics. Some are rib-tickling funny. Others tell about lost love, cheatin' husbands, wayward wives, or promises of a better tomorrow. Like country songs, books are written for many reasons. In 2001, I wrote "Country Music for Laughin', Lovin' and Livin' It Up." Writing it was great fun, so I started working on this book shortly after. It puts readers in the middle of another 510 country song lines that I dreamed up over the last three years. There are lots of crazy one-liners inside, including: -- He used to call me his darlin', but now he don't call me at all. -- I'm still wearin' spurs, but there's not much jingle left in my jangle any more. -- My man's a country singer, 'cause nobody wants him singin' in town. -- Her caboose looks better than the rest of her train. -- Somethin' in our relationship don't add up, so I'm subtractin' me. You've just read five of the song lines found inside. That leaves 505 more to enjoy. Then you'll know why the future of country music looks brighter than the sun at high noon.
