I think I finally reached old man status; I have no idea who that is or what that song is.

    That's not old man status. Not knowing about this artist or song is a mark of good taste.

    Here's the chorus:

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-steppin' 'round the room And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face There's nothin' I can do It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinkin' Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    I'm grateful I've never heard it because from reading the lyrics, she's pining for a total loser. On top of all that, there's even an official remix by Drake.

    Edit: fixed spelling

    Pro tip: two spaces at the end of a line create a line break without a new paragraph.

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
    He's two-steppin' 'round the room
    And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
    There's nothin' I can do
    It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
    A cowboy always finds a way to leave
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    Thank you for the answer. I did go and look up who this person was. I'm usually at least vaguely aware of artists who set records, and I've never heard of this singer. I am also officially old and out of the loop.

    It’s not a good song

    Haven't heard it, but it can't be more irritating then Mariah Carey's solstice shit.

  • Who's paying to keep it there? That song is crap.

    My country-listening kid has heard the song and wonders who is streaming it. Not popular in their friend group. This is the first I've heard of Ella. 🤷

    Ok, so, I went to watch the music video cause I never heard of this lady nor song. I haven't even gotten to the song yet, but the hats, in a car, in a bar!? Them hats are big and damn stiff. How in the world is that man driving with one on? They aren't peak comfort either, relaxing in a bar? Naw, more like trying to avoid knocking it on everything and everyone that gets close.

    Do people really wear that shit in a bar? No one is wearing it driving, let alone hauling a trailer. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    I wish I could watch things and not notice shit like this.

    Yes. It's absolutely a thing. You think it's irritating in the setting of the video? Try going to a concert where idiots have these on. It blocks everyone's view, yet they all still do it.

    I like to think I know whats what, even if I don't like it, but I honestly never even heard of this person or the song I think. I may officially be to old.
