Country Western Music

I heard a cw song about 10 years ago that I thought would become a hit so I didn't pay much attention as to who was singing it..

I never did hear that song again.

I think it was a male singer in a band but could have been a solo artest.

I cant remember any of the lines from the song but I do remember the intent..

It reminded me of the song (Take This Job and Shove It) but instead of quiting he was trying to get the boss to fire him by doing anything he could think of to get on the bosses nerves.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps Fire When Ready by Perfect Stranger?

does it bother you to have my feet on your desk

please take it as a sign of no respect

your office was open thought we'd have a little talk

here's something you can stuff in your suggestion box

you're a bonehead jerk

yea i said it

i've been doing all the work

you've been taken all the credit

shooting me down

riding me steady

come on boss fire when ready

i know you can't let me go without do cause

and i wouldn't want to see you breaking any laws

i could've laid down on the job when i'm not home sick

but the more i think about it this oughta do the trick

you're a bonehead jerk

yea i said it

i've been doing all the work

you've been taken all the credit

shooting me down

riding me steady

come on boss fire when ready

i could've given my notice send you a memo

written you a resignition letter

say i quit i've had it that's it

but this just feels so much better

you're a bonehead jerk

yea i said it

i've been doing all the work

you've been taken all the credit

shooting me down

riding me steady

come on boss fire when ready

you're a bonehead jerk

yea i said it

i've been doing all the work

you've been taken all the credit

shooting me down

riding me steady

come on boss fire when ready

That's not a CW song!

No ones dog died.

No girl left him.

He didn't loose his house.

He didn't loose his job.

And he's not drinking.

That artist has a lot to learn about CW. :blink:

No jail time, either. No truck. What the hell?

Hey, the clock's back on the post lists!

Not a word about Momma, a pick up truck, a faithful old dog, or a railroad either. Can't be a c/w song.

Like he said...

It didn't become a hit.

Probably because it wasn't a real CW song!

This thread reminds me of a movie quote:

"Oh, we like both kinds, country and western."

Where's it from?

David Allen Coe:

....

(spoken

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song,

and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.

I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the

perfect country and western song because he hadn't said

anything at all about momma, or trains, or trucks,

or prison or gettin' drunk. Well, he sat down and

wrote another verse to this song and he sent it to me and

after reading it I realized that my friend had written the

perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include

it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:

I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck

She got ran over by a damned old train.

Where's it from?

blues brothers

And it was an ancient joke when they used it.

I believe it was " we have both kinds, country and western"

in responce to Jake's question of "what kind of music do you have here?"

But I could be wrong
