Justin Moore Parody

Suburbs
(A parody of Justin Moore's "Backwoods")

Tom-tom in a Tahoe, the interstate's sure slow
iPhone charging up, no latte left in my cup
Traffic alert frown, headin' to my job in town
Wish I could turn around and head back out to the

Chorus:
Suburbs, yeah I'm white collar
Out in the suburbs, covenant so don't bother me in the
Suburbs yeah I'm livin' uptight
Work hard, blog hard, drinkin' Sam Adams Light
Got a Blu-ray player and a real good life
In the suburbs, yes sir

Teacher called again, son needs Ritalin
But he's got soccer today, can't see the doctor, nah
36 and in deep debt how stuck can you get
It don't bother me when I play Wii in HD back in the

Chorus:
Suburbs, yeah I'm white collar
Out in the suburbs, gated so you can't follow me out to the
Suburbs yeah I'm livin' just right
Check my fantasy baseball every night
Got a Viking gas grill and a cute blonde wife
In the suburbs, yes sir

Chorus:
Out in the suburbs bein' a father
Out in the suburbs, pinchin' hard on my dollars in the
Suburbs where living is so sweet
Green yard, golf cart, labradoodle on a leash
Where the only "urban" we know is Keith
In the suburbs, where the taxes are low
Out in the suburbs

Top 10 Thoughts Bucky Covington Has Had Today

10. I can't believe I met the real Barney Fife today! Awesome!

09. It feels like there's a silverfish in my hair... yeah, there's definitely a silverfish in my hair.

08. I wonder if Sawyer Brown was named after that guy on Lost... wait, that wouldn't make sense .....he's white

07. Boy, Kellie Pickler's intelligence intimidates me

06. I still say me and Autotune got screwed out of the ACM nomination for vocal event of the year for our duet on "Gotta Be Somebody"

05. So what happens if you're in the back of a truck and there's nobody around to open the tailgate?

04. Aw snap! I'm the one millionth visitor to this site! I won an iPad!!!

03. My fans are so awesome. It was cool when that hairy dude got me to sign his boob last night... or was that a woman?

02. Take a step, take a breath, take a step, take a breath, chew gum... uh, ...crap!

01. Aw snap! I'm on a roll! I won another iPad!!!

Hurley & Cambria

Only that rare combination of Lost/Coheed & Cambria fan will get this... okay, maybe not even them.

Lost-centric original lyric

Admittedly these are sappy enough to be the lyrics of a Jimmy Wayne song, but in honor (or to the detriment) of the final Lost tonight, here's a lyric I wrote a few years ago based on this scene. Yes, I'm a dork. Read my other post today if you want actual (?) humor - this is only unintentional humor. A Bucky Covington Top 10 tomorrow... and Alt-Country Day 4 later in the week! Ta ta, I'm off to geek out!


Go Back There

Old habits die hard, I guess
Why'd you call me? is all she said
Over the roar of jets above their old meetin' place
She told him that he looked like hell
If she'd missed him, he couldn't tell
Who knew how she felt, all the makeup on her face

He'd been chasing the lowest highs
Every weekend takin' flights
Everything he could try, praying to be lost again
Maybe where they'd come back from
Was no damn good for either one
But here now in the long run, he longed for where they'd been

(He said)
I wanna go back there
We weren't supposed to leave
I'm tired of lying
Living is dying
I wanna go back there
Want you to go back there with me

She said He'll wonder where I am
He said this wasn't in the plans
Stood there a trembling man, cryin' I'll find a way
Then before she turned to leave
He could read the uncertainty
There in her eyes, as she said "This ain't gonna change"

(He said)
We have to go back there
We weren't supposed to leave
I'm tired of lying
Living is dying
I wanna go back there
Want you to go back there with me

Bridge
Her taillights lit his eyes
But he knew this goodbye
Wasn't for good
She understood

We have to go back there
We weren't supposed to leave
I'm tired of lying
Living is dying
I wanna go back there
Want you to go back there with me
