Story Behind The Song

Spent a lot of time at a lake in Oklahoma a couple years ago, and met a lot of folks like this guy. Also had a divorce trauma in my life, so I poured it out here

Song Description

This is a song about a country boy, redneck type guy, that is hurting from a lost love, and acts out, like only a redneck can

Lyrics

It's been five long years of heartache,
Since you said goodbye,
I never thought it would hurt this long,
And I kind of wonder why,
I've never been the kind of man
To let things get me down
But, I'm lonely in the country
And you have moved up town.

I was lonely late one Friday night,
And I'd had a drink or two,
So I drove my truck through my front wall,
And turned and drove on through.
I got out in the kitchen, ripped the cabinets down,
And threw them in the pool
I took another pull on my whiskey jug,
And I was feelin' kind of cool

God, It's lonely In the country,
When your baby lives in town,
So I grabbed a little can of gas,
And I burned that farmhouse down
I got into that flaming truck,
And kicked out all the glass,
Drove right into the fishin' hole,
I was really haulin' ass

I was lonely in the country
Cause my baby lives in town
And I'm just not the kind of guy,
To let that get me down

They say I'll do much better now,
If the medication works
And they want me to quit drinkin'
They're just a bunch of jerks

I was lonely in the country
Cause my baby lives in town
And I'm just not the kind of guy,
To let that get me down
