One of our favorite things about country music is the lyrics. There’s something we just love about the idea of a date underneath the stars or dancing with a gorgeous guy in the rain. Unfortunately for those of us waiting for the perfect southern-style romantic life, country songs aren’t exactly accurate in describing reality.
“Crash My Party” Luke Bryan
It don’t matter what plans I got, I can break ‘em.
Yeah, I can turn this thing around at the next red light
And I don’t mind telling all the guys I can’t meet ‘em.
Hell, we can all go raise some hell on any other night
Expectation: Just snap your fingers and that guy will drop everything for you.
Reality: Although we’d like to believe that some guy would break his plans with his buddies just to hang out with us, this is definitely not the case. It’s a rare thing when a guy will ditch his exciting party plans just to hang around the house and watch romantic comedies.
“Lonely Eyes” Chris Young
Tuesday night crowded bar
Some guy lights a cheap cigar
Bartender yells at him
So he walks out and you walk in
Expectation: A bar would be crowded on a Tuesday night and there is a single, attractive guy just sitting alone waiting for you to walk in.
Reality: It’s the middle of the week and no one can go out on a Tuesday so when you walk through the doors the overall population of the bar goes up from four people to five people. Plus, that attractive, single guy wouldn't talk to you because he thinks you're a loser with no friends because you just walked into a bar alone.
“Hey Girl” Billy Currington
And if you want we can roll out
I know my way around this town
I got a shotgun seat for you
You can tell me where it is you wanna take off to
Expectation: You climb in his truck and have an incredible night running around town and exploring.
Reality: You (hopefully) would never get in a car with a person you just met. I mean honestly, haven’t we all watched enough “Law and Order SVU” to know better?
“Take Your Time” Sam Hunt
And I know your name
'Cause everybody in here knows your name
And you're not looking for anything right now
Expectation: You’re so fun and cool so everyone knows you around here.
Reality: He may have just implied that you’re a slut? Also, apparently everyone knows you're not looking for anything serious so...
"Get Me Some Of That" Thomas Rhett
Love the way you're wearin' those jeans so tight
I bet your kiss is a soul saver, my favorite flavor, want it now and later
Expectation: You look hot in your new skinny jeans and you're such an amazing kisser that you could make even the biggest man-slut around fall in love with you.
Reality: You're really afraid that you might bend wrong and split your skin-tight pants and the first kiss you and that hottie share is super awkward (because a first-kiss with someone new is usually pretty weird).
