I like Country Music because it's about the things in life that really matter.It ain't about braggin' about how you're gonna mess somebody up, or how somebody ain't respectin' ya.It's about love, family, friends, with a few beers, a cheap woman, and a two-timin' man thrown in for spice.It doesn't take political sides, even on things as ugly as war. Instead, it celebrates the brave men and women that go to fight 'em, the price they pay to do it, and the longing we have for them to return home to the ones that they love.It's about kids, and how there ain't nothin' like 'em. I get tired of hearin' about how bad kids are today, because there are a lot of great kids out there that just need somebody to love 'em and believe in 'em. Country folks love their kids and they will jack you up if you try to mess with 'em.People in Country Music don't forget the people that allow them to do what they do for a living. They sign autographs and they take pictures with the fans because they know without 'em, most of us entertainers would be gettin' a lot dirtier in the course of our workday. We are thankful that people want to hear the songs and the jokes that we write.Country music doesn't have to be politically correct. We sing about God because we believe in Him. We're not trying to offend anybody, but the evidence that we have seen of Him in our small little lives trumps your opinion about whether or not He exists.We love Country Music because it touches us where we live. It's about Mamas, and when they were hot, and when they were unappreciated, and when they were dying.It's about Daddies and the difficulties they have sometimes in telling the people that they work so hard to protect and provide for how they feel about 'em.Country Music is about new love, and it's about old love.It's about gettin' drunk, and it's about gettin' sober.It's about leavin', and it's about comin' home.It's real music, sung by real people, for real people...the people that make up the backbone of this country. You can call us rednecks if you want to - we're not offended, 'cause we know what we're all about. We get up and go to work, we get up and go to church, and we get up and go to war, when necessary.All we ask is a few songs to carry us along the way."-Jeff Foxworthy© whateverlife.com
