14 Things I've Learned From Country Music
1) A man is not a man without a cowboy hat.
2) You won't miss someone 'til they're gone. And when they're gone, they're gone for good. Just warning ya.
3) NASCAR is cool.
4) Lonely is not cool.

12) Men should drive trucks. And women should ride in them. In white tank tops.
13) Work sucks.
14) Life on the farm isn't so bad.
