Bury Me in My Boots, 2016
Written by Jeren Johnston, Jon Nite, and Jimmy Robbins
This is a fast-paced Southern country rocker, clearly influenced by the fusion stylings of the loathsome Kid Rock, a little slang taken from the hiphop community ("cut off blues like damn you know it"). The song is about a hard-drinking good old boy who finds a real hottie in a bar. Is there a twist, or even a meet-cute resolution, like in Cory Branan's terrific "Prettiest Waitress in Memphis"? No. Simple minds, simple pleasures. "Little bit of drink, little wink wink / Tell me what you think / I've been lookin' for a party like you / You get dancing, hearts get stolen / Love the way the night is goin'." Still, the whiskey-soaked hick-rock-rap is a good time.
