Scott's Theme Song

I am officially a fan of country music. Well, maybe not all of it, but I’m getting there. I borrowed my Dad’s truck this past weekend in order to pick up a new countertop for our kitchen (installers needed) and as I turned the key, the melodious twang of WIL 92.3 filled the cab. Now, I’ve never been a fan of country music but I can appreciate it and do have some of it in my music library. As a result, I left the station on for the drive home and tried to get into the “new” stuff.

I’ve always been a fan of guys like Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and Merle Haggard. To me that’s what country music should be about. The “new” country, however, has a little bit too much of a “pop” sound to it and I just can’t get into it. But as I was sitting in Dad’s truck I figured that a good pickup truck needs some twang blaring out the windows so I rolled them down, turned the volume up, and started rocking(?) along with that good country beat. I began to laugh at myself as I think I was doing more mocking than enjoying, but then I heard this song and it changed my life.

The song I heard spoke to me like no other country, if any, song has spoken to me before. It summed up me. It summed up my life. And, if you’ve been following along with these blogs this far, you’ll see it pretty much sums up all of my stories. I’ve never really had a theme song before, but I am now requesting that this be played at my funeral as it fits me to a “t”.

This is a short blog today as I’m going to link you to the song in question. Please sit back, listen to this, and think of me. Actually, after you hear it, I doubt that there’s any other person that would come to mind.

The only thing that I would change would be changing “Bud Lite” to “Stag”

Gonna go out and buy me some boots and a cowboy hat now.

And some beer.

Thanks for reading.
