    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

        Literally ever country song could be AI generated and not a single speck of quality would be lost.

      Likewise, and also old enough to miss “actual” country music. This stuff is such piss-weak bland pop-country bullshit and generic as fuck. It’s a caricature of the real thing.
