Any country music fans?

I'm no country and western fan but could this be the song?

"Recorded on Jan. 19, "Honky Tonk U" is the autobiographical tale of Toby Keith's youth, and summers spent working in a nightclub owned by his grandmother. "

BINGO! That was as easy as it gets.

While in Dallas recently I enjoyed a cover of "(Ghost) Riders in the sky", performed by a mariachi band. I also really like listening to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" while watching two hot girls in skimpy clothing get on top of a bar and dual back and forth. Does that make me a country music fan?

I call that "Southern Rock" which is a far cry from "Country."

The only country I can stand is the old country; Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Conway Twitty, Bob Wills, etc.

Damn you're good! I'm pretty sure this is it. I'll download the song later on to be sure; however I'm positive this is the one.

Please PM me your address, and I'll get a CP hat out to you!

Thanks again,

First, I like all music that's good. Very ecclectic taste. You guy's have heard the one where, What happens, when you mix country with rap? Well Kenny Rogers and Wyclef Jon(sp) came up with a new answer. The Gambler in a mix.

I'm not sure if this is it or not. I don't see Georgia in the lyrics. Here they are:

My grandmother owned a night club
On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
Mama put me on a Greyhound
And I went to stay with her in the summertime
I'd box up those empty long-necks
And stack 'em in the back and make a ham
Then at night she'd let me sneak out
Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band

Yes, I have sacks and quarterbacks
And broke my share of bones along the way
I knew it wouldn't last forever
Semi-pro always means semi-payed
I started climbing drilling rigs
I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be, yeah
Then I took my songs and guitar
And sang 'em for a man from Tennessee

I've played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
Like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
I am a red, white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U

A star can't burn forever
And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass won't ever be
Half empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have a song to sing
And a band to turn it up and play it loud
As long as there's a bar room
With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd

I've played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
Son, I'm a red, white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U

That song isn't 4 or 5 years old. It only came out a year or two ago.

My wife and mother-in-law both new it the second I described it, unfortunatley I was too late.

That's it alright. I don't know why I thought it was Georgia. I thought it came out longer than that too. In any case, that's the song. PM me your address.
