It Can't Be Nashville Every Night Lyrics
He said, ‘fuck this’ and ‘fuck that’
and this guy’s the diplomat
stares into the blur of the tuner lights
It can’t be Nashville every night
He said, ‘we are what we lack’
and this guy’s the autodidact
stares into the glare of the TV lights
It can’t be Nashville every night
with its' la la oh oh ohs,
whoa-ohs and yeahs.
la las,
whoa-ohs and
yeahs
He sang, ‘I’ll die before I quit’
and this guy’s the limit
stares into the queer of the firefight
It can’t be Nashville every night
with its' la la oh oh ohs,
whoa-ohs and yeahs.
la las,
whoa-ohs and
yeahs.
and this guy’s the diplomat
stares into the blur of the tuner lights
It can’t be Nashville every night
and this guy’s the autodidact
stares into the glare of the TV lights
It can’t be Nashville every night
whoa-ohs and yeahs.
la las,
whoa-ohs and
yeahs
and this guy’s the limit
stares into the queer of the firefight
It can’t be Nashville every night
whoa-ohs and yeahs.
la las,
whoa-ohs and
yeahs.

Apparently this song is about the over-the-top antics of one Toby Keith. I guess Gord thinks his musical style and the way he conveys himself are ruining country music. There also might be a little resentment for Toby Keith being a supporter of the Bush government (as many country singers are, with the exception of the Dixie Chicks). After all, the "In Between Evolution" album is supposed to be about American ideals and foreign policy.
I don't care who its about, it may as well be about western music, or even western art. It's not about Toby specifically, its about new art.
where did you hear it's about toby? I don't get that from the lyrics...seems to be about country music in general though
Possibly one of the best of the Hip canon...but also indicative of their recent habit of having one or two solid songs per album. IVL was their last masterpiece (imho).
This song is about how not every day is going to be the best ever, life isn't always big events or gestures.
