Country Music Fans Sound Off On Hilariously Bad Lyrics, & Luke Bryan Is Leading The Pack
Country music is all about the lyrics.
While there are many reasons to be drawn to country music, one aspect that many country fans can agree on is the profound lyrics. Country music songwriters are storytellers to their core… compelling and honest, they have lived everything they are singing about.
Country lyrics strike a deep chord, whether they describe a horrible heartbreak, the loss of a loved one, or the feelings of finding the love of your life. But as you know… what’s popular doesn’t always equate to quality. Just look at McDonald’s… there’s on on every corner, but that doesn’t make it a high quality burger.
We used to have bro-country, which gave us a constant flow of comically bad lyrics, and today we have TikTok “country” artists like Lan Law and Graham Barham filling that void… although I wish that was a void we could just leave as a void.
While we can all collectively agree that the line “go a body like oil money” makes absolutely no sense, lyrics of that scale through up the thought of what other country lyrics are hilariously bad. Thankfully, the wonderful users of Reddit have been sounding in a thread on this topic.
“Last week, we had a thread on some of the ‘incredibly funny lines’ some country songs have. How about the flipside? What lines from country songs made you let out a snort of disbelief that anyone could actually write or sing them with a straight face?”
The creator of the thread posed to Reddit users.
It did not take long for country fans to start chiming in, and boy, did they come up with the cream of the crop for bad lyrics.
“Girl, I know your favorite beer. ‘Cause you told me, and I bought it.” from Chris Lane’s “I Don’t Know About You.”
“Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit.”
“Got Lil Wayne pumpin on my iPod” Tim McGraw Truck Yeah ages like milk.”
“’C’mon, c’mon, c’mon Shake it for the birds, shake it for the bees Shake it for the catfish swimmin’ down deep in the creek…”
“’Sitting over in the corner, baby, I saw pretty red lips working on a White Claw Shaking to a little “Shook Me All Night Long” And I thought, man, what a beautiful sight’ – Cole Swindell.”
“In ‘Anything Goes’ by FGL, idk why, but I HATED the ‘Victoria’s Secret ain’t a secret no more’ line. I always thought it was so corny.”
“‘God Made Girls’ by RaeLynn. I can’t seem to shake the feeling it was written by AI, and it’s just overall BAD not a single line, just overall the whole song.”
“Anything by Kane Brown.”
“Everything by Luke Bryan or Aldean but ‘Girl you make my speakers go boom boom’ is pretty egregious.”
“‘Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky.’ I thought that line was so stupid when I saw Luke Bryan on ‘The Apprentice,’ and they had to promote the song. I thought, There’s no way this becomes a hit. Long story short, this is why I don’t work in the stock market.”
“Scrolling through this, I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Dustin Lynch’s ‘Good Girl.’ Behold: ‘I got it good, girl, ‘cause I got myself a good girl, Still can’t believe I found you, can’t imagine life without you…”
“This is a deep cut, and I know Luke Bryan has been called out extensively, but this line makes me laugh out loud (Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye): ‘take off your leaving dress/lets do what we do best.’ My ‘leaving dress?’ Excuse me, sir? The dress I wear just for leaving you?”
“‘Got a car parked in my front yard with a floorboard full of Slim Jims.’ But honestly, the entirety of ‘Rednecker’ by HARDY is hilariously bad.”
“I enjoy Morgan Wallen as much as the next guy, but, ‘tonight it’s looking F-150-50’ is a sh*t stain on his career.”
“Honky Tonk Badonkadonk comes to mind.”
“Anything written by Tyler Hubbard.”
“‘I’m going to check you for ticks.’ I remember being disappointed when Brad Paisley released that song. It starts out great… and then delivers that terrible line.”
Man, I could go on with quotes from this thread for days, so you should read some more for yourselves. I am thankful we are in an era where the good outweighs the bad.
Fire up some Zach Top to refresh your brain after reading all of those trainwrecks…
