Lapel Pins (You Loved Country Before Country Was Cool)
Liner Notes
#altcountry
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men (Matthew 6:5-8).
So, for the first time in a while, I have time and the house to myself. On the other hand, I don't have anything but a guitar and an iphone, so I'm sitting in my living room having a good time. I guess this could be made longer, but it feels like a complete song to me. (Okay, I redid this evening, rolling it around three times, so it's a little longer, if that counts.)
Lyrics
You loved country before country was cool
You prayed in your room so none would know
You loved country before country was cool
So why talk about it now?
Is love not enough?
You loved country before country was cool
So why talk about it?
Now is love not enough?
(I actually say "ere," but there's time to add the extra syllable and not sound like a poetry twat.)

That iPhone recording's very good: I like the neat zings on the strings.
