"You can come as you are, there ain't no dress code/Just some rural-route rules that you need to know/Don't mess with the bull, he can get real mean/Don't forget to shut the gate, stay out of the beans"--'Down on the Farm,' Tim McGraw (1994)

Countriest Country Lyrics: No. 20
Loretta Lynn sings, "If you're lookin' at me, you're lookin' at country." And country music, more than most genres, likes to remind folks what they're lookin' at. If you're lookin' for the themes of country that span generations, look for pride, connection to the land and homespun wisdom. These folks know country when they see it.
"You can come as you are, there ain't no dress code/Just some rural-route rules that you need to know/Don't mess with the bull, he can get real mean/Don't forget to shut the gate, stay out of the beans"
--'Down on the Farm,' Tim McGraw (1994)

Sandy you are 100 percent right. Toby is one of the greatest country artists ever. I am proud to be one of his fan club warriors. He is also a great and patriotic American.

You people expecting AOL to know anything about music is like expecting Rosie O'Donell to know what it's like to be a woman. AOL should never be your source for musicology.
