Uh you can piss up a rope
And feel the pissy dribble
You can piss up a rope
And watch me giggle
For the last 6 months
I been packin' your bag
You can wash my balls
With a warm, wet rag
Till my balls feel smooth
And soft like silk
I'm sick of your mouth
And your 2 percent milk
And I'm no dope
But I've lost all hope
So hit the fuckin' road and
Piss up a rope

I'm pretty sure country descended from folk music which dates back to whenever the first yokel made a lute and decided to sing over it

The main topics of country music are:

1. Bars
2. Trucks
3. Beer or drinking
4. Girls
5. Break ups or how bad they are for each other but they can't give up (abusive white trash relationships)
6. Hard work
7. A radio

I think 9/10 country songs I've hard have about 4 or 5 of these at any time in the lyrics. They're even more formulaic than Pop songs.

A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink
Sees a girl that catches his eye
Asks her if she wants another
They fall for each other and end up lovers
They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while
Then one night her taillights fade out into the dark
And a guy walks into a bar

I'd laugh too if my heart would let me
Keeping it light will probably help to get me over you
I'm walking, talking, drinking proof
A cliché in a corner booth
Ain't nothing new

It doesn't really have clear jazz roots. Country as a genre is kinda a media creation. Local radio stations in the deep south in the 20's would play the traditional folk and familiar hillbilly music that some folks preferred over the pop being broadcast nationally. That traditional stuff could range from the whitest, unchanged British Folk ballads preserved over hundreds of years to basically white hicks playing half-remembered blues. Their were eventually cross-over hits and Jimmie Rodgers became nationally famous playing hillbilly music and his style was referred to as "Country." Rodgers and a bunch of other early country singers learned to sing and play from southern blues performers so I could see a direct link there.

When country music got popular enough to tour nationally various sub-genres formed like "Western Swing" and I guess than you could argue that Popular Jazz influenced country, but that was after its inception and those were branch genres. It's like saying country has Hawaiian roots because their were all those Hawaiian steel guitar licks in Hank Williams and Johnny Cash work.

Add all that to the fact that almost none of them can write their own songs like most other genres minus pop and you really see the similarities to pop.

Also, if my high school students are any indication, you must follow these rules to listen to country:

- Wranglers in the winter, jorts in the summer and cut-off shirts all year
-own a full size truck (preferably diesel)
-fly the American and/or Confederate flag from the bed of the truck
- Realtree everything... Boots, coats, laptop wraps, wallets
-lip full of Grizzly/Kodiak/Skoal
-must be obnoxiously racist
-love NASCAR, Hardly Ableson motorcycles, etc.

Best thing is when you see them out with their parents and mom and dad are dressed nicely as they get out of their Infiniti, and then junior climbs out of the back door dressed in his redneck costume and his F350 is parked next to his mom's Lexus in their driveway in their gated community which is miles away from the nearest farm or country thing.

To be fair, people have been marketed to that F150s/etc are luxury vehicles now like Mercedes-Benz to justify the escalating prices (which is still retarded, but whatever).

The most annoying thing to me about all of this is that bro trucks have become the new ricers/krauts. I still see plenty of lowered Civics and VWs but they're usually being driven rather reasonably. It's the jackasses in their pristine, jacked up F-Series and Dodge Rams who are tearing rear end through neighborhoods and slamming the gas at every green light.

Oh and of course there's those coal rolling fuckers.
