From the recording Between Odd and Even
Lyrics
I’m trapped, in a country music song The beer is cold and golden
And the party’s overflowing
The sun is cresting overhead
The jet ski’s call; my friends wanna ball
But she’s gone, she’s gone There’s no point at all
I’m trapped in a county music song
Feel good for minute, but it doesn’t last long
It’s a tale that’s been told by Hank and Willie and Merle But it doesn’t hit home until your missing your girl
I’m trapped, in a steel pedal’s wail
The band is hot and blowin’
And it’s got all the pretty girls going
The silver strobe lights twirling overhead
Their feet on the line, dancing the “Electric Slide”
But she’s gone, she’s gone, I don’t wanna talk
I’m trapped in a county music song
They say it’s cliche but all those people are wrong Cause Dolly and Garth are gonna give me the truth But I can’t turn it off because I’m hurting for you
I try to avoid county stations
And listen to talk radio
But I always end up back in Nashville The music just knows
How to wring out your soul
I’m trapped, I’m a prisoner of a memory
I should have been so much kinder
And the music is a constant reminder
That the special thing I had now is gone
You reap what you sow, she had to let my ass go
And she’s gone,
Another night of waiting for her to call
And now I’m trapped in a country music song
They say it’s cathartic when you’ve done someone wrong Three chords and a fiddle gonna tell me the truth
I can feel every note because I’m missing you
I’m missing you I’m missing you I’m missing you
