PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I could write a country song,

would it be a ballad or little ditty?

Would I write of something funny,

or something warm and pretty?



Maybe I'll add a pickup truck,

or a big ol' blue tick hound.

Maybe it would have a twangy tone,

or a drawling southern sound.



Would it be of heartache,

from a love that's gone awry?

Would it touch the listener,

to make them sad or cry?



Or it could be lighthearted,

having a toe-tapping beat.

Causing people to sing along,

in their cars out on the street.



I could write about a young couple,

a country boy and girl.

Or write in the style of someone else,

like A.J. or Strait or Merle.



Maybe it'll be a kickin' song,

full of life and fun.

Maybe I could submit it,

have it recorded by Brooks and Dunn.



But maybe it would be a duet,

sung by Faith and Tim.

One that people fall in love to,

when the lights are dim.



If I could write a country song,

I hope it would be a favorite.

A number one, top of the charts,

award winning, Nashville hit!
