There's usually some sort of depressing undertone to country music. There was a news article about country music fans being more likely to become suicidal. With songs like this should we wonder why?

Yeah it's an OK tune for listening to when you're driving, but musically I find it very derivative, like the guitarists have been listening to a lot of Rolling Stones and the singer to Linda Rondstad.
Definitely will end up in a $5 complilation album in Walmart in years to come, "100 Greatest Hits You Love to Drive With", so at least they'll make a bit of dough out of it.

cheers,

Ron

Maybe she's just pandering to the audience.
