Story Behind The Song

Tongue in cheek contemplation that no matter how bad it gets, things could be much worse!

Song Description

"At least my life's not being featured in a Country song"

Lyrics

My Troubles Are Easy - tburns

I was sittin' on a barstool tickin' off my troubles
And listenin' to the country songs
Drip like teardrops off the jukebox

They were all about love lost and lost time
Time spent drunk or drinkin'
The radio, the rodeo, and Jesus, and drinkin'

I heard about hard work and hard luck
And lovin' a pickup truck
Goin' crazy, bein' lazy, and drinkin'

Chorus:
There's always somethin'
You can say you wished there wasn't
There's no way to avoid some things goin' wrong
But I've got it good. My troubles are easy,
'Cause my life's not bein' featured in a country song

Out on the dance floor (lookin' rowdy) wearin' cowboy hats and blue jeans
A dozen regulars callin' out the words
While movin' in lock-step with the jukebox

And they were havin' a ball
Out there on the floor
Dancin' and singin'

To songs about heartbreak and break-ups
And mid-life crisis shake-ups
Divorcin', remorsin' and drinkin'

Chorus:
