It used to be, there was a significant subset of country music which can only be described as “hippie redneck.” They talked about gun control and smoking pot a lot. That, alas, is long gone. But these lyrics would harken back to those days. At least, that’s my goal.

13 Angry And Conflicted Democrats
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

our president’s lost his mind
it seems kind of sad I have to admit
time doesn’t seem to be on his side
one of these days thing will come around
he keeps ranting about Mueller
when he should just stay quiet

13 angry and conflicted Democrats
they may be our only savior I’m afraid
13 angry and conflicted Democrats
Mr. Mueller knows what he’s doing
13 angry and conflicted Democrats
they’re just doing their job like me and you

the president thinks everyone is out to get him
it’s sad, I know
but if he hasn’t done anything wrong
why does he act so guilty that’s a fact I want
but he just tweets up a storm
yelling into the sky hoping something will change

13 angry and conflicted Democrats
they may be our only savior I’m afraid
13 angry and conflicted Democrats
Mr. Mueller knows what he’s doing
13 angry and conflicted Democrats
they’re just doing their job like me and you

when will this all end
I say over yet another drink
when will Trump leave the Oval Office
that’s what I want to know

we’re stuck with Trump
at least for a little bit longer
it’s sad to say
when will he go, go, go
that’s all I ask
wish he was already gone
don’t you?

I just like Kacey Musgraves’ vibe so this would be a mid-tempo pop country song where you could hear the lyrics really well. She’s really good a stuff like that. Regardless, I just like writing stories in verse and this is relaxing, so there you go. These lyrics allude to the fact that someone recently said it was too many doors in a school, not, like, uh, too many guns, that were the problem with school shootings.

Doors
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

we’re all demanding changes
too many children have died while learning
but you demand more locks on the doors
why can’t you see my friend
the lies you’re spewing aren’t true
it’s glocks not locks we should be thinking about

don’t tell me about
doors
don’t demanded fewer
doors
doors
doors

things don’t seem like they could get much worse
wish people would hear my cry
I don’t care about doors in the schools
we need to fix the problem with guns
locking doors isn’t going to help
when you’ve got an active shooter about

wish it wasn’t this way no way
I wonder if things will ever change
but I’m afraid I know the answer
we’re stuck with what we got
no matter how many locks we get

don’t tell me about
doors
don’t demanded fewer
doors
doors
doors

wish I could change our fate
even at this late date
I’m afraid there’s nothing to say
much to my dismay

when it’s all over
the history of this time is written
what will they say
was the problem too many doors
or too many bores who didn’t care
about the fate of the children

In honor of the beautiful and talented Kacey Musgraves, here is my attempt at talking about Trump collusion with the Russians. It’s hopefully garbled enough that someone, somewhere might find it at least interesting. Enjoy.

Crossfire Hurricane
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you and your plausible bullshit
think you can get away with it
you drink white Russians with abandon
have them visit you in your home
when you’re not alone boning storms

crossfire hurricane
that’s the life you live
crossfire hurricane
when are you going to give it up

they say where there’s smoke there’s fire
you live your life without a care
you’d trash the nation for a buck
but you’re not nearly as tough as you think
when the truth comes out your lies will end

crossfire hurricane
that’s the life you live
crossfire hurricane
when are you going to give it up

[bridge]
when all comes to light
you’re going to serve things out right
the bars will be cold
just like your soul

we’re all just waiting for the day
when this will have passed away
but nothing will change until we fight for it
this storm is only the beginning
we’re begging for some winning

I like to drink and a woman I have a crush on does, too. So, this is me pining for her in lyrics. I just like to tell stories in verse, so you get this. I could see someone putting a country pop spin on this, actually.

Drinking Problem
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

she says she’s been wasted
for days and I didn’t get your message
but you’d wait and wait and wait
if you thought it’d help you get a date
but she’s far away and you’re always too late

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick

she’s the kind of dame
makes you feel lame, lame, lame
she’s got real personality
likes to drink as much as you do
but to tell so would make feel a fool

so many women out there who drink like a fish
but to get just one kiss from her would make you blush
she’s special as can be
but you’re afraid she’d flee if she knew
the feelings you had for her

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick

[bridge]
there’s so much drama in the world
you’d like to stir things up with her
just one smile would make you walk a mile

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick
