Country Song No. 3

This song’s X-treme CORN but I can’t really call it bad. It attempts to be clever (i.e. some beach sounds like sum’bitch) and the chorus is quite catchy. I’m ashamed to say that I kind of enjoy it. Another property of the following, that assures its classification as country in spite of the accompanying music behind it that is actually soft rock, is that 2 of the 3 verses involve situations with cars. The second even makes an explicit reference about a particular type of car. I wonder if DaimlerChrysler Corp., manufacturers of Mercedes Benz autos, gets royalties for the reference? Anyway, for your sake Blake, I hope you used the name with permission. If not, you better get your ass covered! Them corpos would love to take a juicy bite out of your song revenue in addtition to gaining the free publicity for their product that you generously provided for them.

Here it is:

Driving down the interstate
Running thirty minutes late
Singing Margaritaville and minding my own
Some foreign car driver dude with the road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
He flipped me the bird an’ then he was gone

Some beach
Somewhere
There’s a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are growing and a warm breezes a blowing
I picture myself right there
On Some beach, somewhere

I circled the parking lot trying to find a spot
Just big enough I could park my old truck
A man with a big cigar was getting into his car
I stopped and I waited for him to back up
From out of no where a Mercedes Benz
Came cruising up and whipped right in

Some beach
Somewhere
There’s no where to go when you got all day to get there
There’s cold margaritas and hot Senioritas smiling with long dark hair
On some beach
Somewhere

I sat in that waiting room
It seemed like all afternoon
The nurse finally said doc’s ready for you
you’re not gonna feel a thing we’ll give you some novocain
That tooth will be fine in a minute or two
But he stuck that needle down deep in my gum
And he started drilling before I was numb

Some beach
Somewhere
There’s a beautiful sunset burning up that atsmosphere
There’s music and dancing and lovers romancing
In the salty evening air
On some beach
Somewhere
On some beach, somewhere

[Blake Shelton – Some Beach]
