Postcards: Country Music Has a Drinking Problem... (The Early Show)

On day 1 of Free Range Garrett - a restaurant up the road for lunch... where every song appears to be about blacking out at a bar, a beach, or on a boat... Don't go to the Early Show in this market.

Dear Fellow Expat:

It’s been a busy day.

I shot the Founder’s Video this morning.

Then, I cleaned the car… It took 25 minutes to get the dogs out of the backseat because they were convinced we were going for a ride.

Then, I went to the North Bonita Country Club, a pseudo dive bar with really good food.

The songs from the last 20 minutes were heavily about alcohol. It’s almost like Country Music has a drinking problem.

They consisted of the following lyrics from respective songs:

• “One margarita, two margarita, three margarita, shot!” - Luke Bryan

• “Jack, Jim, 'quila lime, apple pie, this is my Gettin'-over-her-'til-I'm-passed-out drinkaby.” - Cole Swindell

• "I'ma need some whiskey glasses, beause I don't wanna see the truth." - Morgan Wallen.

• "Long neck, ice-cold beer never broke my heart." - Luke Combs.

• "There's a hole in the bottle leaking all this wine." - Kelsea Ballerini

And the best one…

• “Baby, I'm drunk, and I don't wanna go home. We don't gotta wait until the weekend.” Elle King & Miran…
