There are times it seems country songwriters are spoiling us for mere mortal men. They’ve raised the bar impossibly high with lines like “if mine could be the name that changes yours” or “I feel like the frame that gets to hold the Mona Lisa”. But then there are other times.
Do you ever wonder how some country lyrics would play out in real life if they were actually said instead of sung? Guys, don’t try these at home…
Sam Hunt: You’ve got a body like a backroad.
Me:

Lee Brice: You sound like truck tires on a gravel road.
Me:

Brad Paisley: My eyebrows ain’t plucked; there’s a gun in my truck…
Me:

Josh Turner: Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire?
Me:

Dan or Shay: For a minute or two I was laughing at your stack of books…
Me: Sorry, I don’t date bullies.
Dan or Shay: No no, my bad, it’s just you’re just the right kind of crazy baby.
Me: 

Chris Stapleton: D’you wanna know the difference between whiskey and you?
Me:

Sam Hunt (again!): If you’re gonna be a homebody, we’re gonna have a house party.
Me:

Luke Bryan: Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom
Me:

Dierks Bentley: It’s a 10 hour drive but I can make it in five.
Me:

Florida Georgia Line: Baby you a song…
Me:

Eli Young: Silly woman, come here let me hold you.
Me:


You get the gist. We love these songs really, but are there any lyrics that make you go “hang on a minute, what?!!”

I never know whether to cry or just barf at most lyrics manufactured and recycled in the last five years. Hilarious post, you made my day!
