Greatest modern country tune ever?

[Thoughtfree]

Those lyrics. Goosebumps.





I hope he remembers where he parked.

 

[Willie Johnson]

Instructions unclear, truck is now submerged. Google Maps says closest tow truck is in Santa Fe. Amp in the back of the bed keeps shocking me down here, too.

 

[Dan German]

I’ll never park by a lake the same way again. Life-changing.

 

[Happy Enchilada]

I'm parked out by the dump
Everything smells like your rump
I'm parked out by the dump smellin' rump ...

I didn’t look into it, but I’d bet a week’s pay that Blake Shelton wrote those lyrics. Brilliant.

 

[schmee]

Yep that's some pretty complicated Bro Country there.... musta got a writing degree in college....

 

[brookdalebill]

It’s got nothin’ on Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, by Trace Adkins.
Pure modern country soul, man!

 

[TomBrokaw]

Ghost Riders in the Sky. That's about as modern as I get when it comes to country.

 

[brookdalebill]

Goodbye Earl by the former Dixie Chicks is a contender, too.

 

[trev333]

The perfect song for those morning traffic jams...just roll the windows down and crank it up....

I can see it catching on...

 

[CCK1]

No worse than most of them. Like trying to pick the worst smelling turd.

 

[carpenter]

Define modern. Please.

 

[jamesepowell]

Define modern. Please.

Agree we need years & style definitions.

I'd probably go with something by Steve Earle or maybe Lucinda Williams, but it's hard to choose just one song.

 

[trev333]

Can't you just go by the year of the truck?...

 

[Recce]

Where is he parked?

 

[StevesBoogie]

In a former life, I played keys for a country band fronted by a female singer. Fell in love with all of Martina McBride's material, but always thought 'Independence Day' was a masterpiece.

 

[Willie Johnson]

/\The best bro country right now isn't sung by bros--lots of really good modern country by female artists now.

I like that parked out by the lake song.
If only it had a snap track.
