If 'Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day' was Written 40 Years Ago

If you believe what David Allan Coe has to say about the perfect country/western song, it should include something about momma, prison, drinking, trucks and trains. I spent most of Monday hanging out in airports and I got to thinking... what would the lyrics of Luke Bryan's Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day look like 40 years ago when Coe's You Never Even Called Me By My Name came out?

Here are the lyrics to Luke's chorus:

Huntin', fishin', and lovin' every day
That's the prayer that a country boy prays
Thank God He made me this way
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Early in the mornin', late in the evenin'
I'm getting red dirt rich and Flint River pay
Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day

Just imagine if this song had been written 40 years ago... Here's my version!

Huntin', fishin', and lovin' every day
Trucks and Momma that's the cowboy's way
Sippin' shine and rollin' in the hay
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Workin' in the mornin', lovin' in the evenin'
I'm getting rodeo rich and prison pay
Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day

Okay, fine! I didn't find a way to work in a train... But give me a little bit of time! Just see if you don't start singing this lyrics to yourself next time we play Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day on Kiss Country... I dare you!
