Uh, no. Try 24 Top 40 country hits, including 11 that made the Top 10 and three #1’s.
One of them, “Just Like Real People” (which just missed the Top 10) is one of the two greatest country songs of the last quarter of the 20th century, IMHO.
The other is “Good Ole Boys Like Me” by Don Williams. As it happens, both songs were written by the great Bob McDill, whose best work I would put up against any of the more vaunted songwriters of that era.
You must be my kids’ age. We had that on a 45 and it was one of their favorites. They’ll still try to sing it, after a few beers, and if they’re in the mood for reminiscing. If they’re really in the mood, they’ll segue into Convoy.
I am wondering if anyone can help me… I believe it was a 70’s country song but is possible it was early 80’s. The only lyrics I can remember well are “Whatever happened to mamas and daddies living and loving together” and a line about: Mama and Daddy on opposite shores “Look who’s sinking out in the middle”. I know not much to go on, but I’ve been searching for this song for ages. I was very young when I first heard it and it was played a lot for a short time. Any clues?
When she was very little, my sister had a spring-loaded rocking horse that she called Wildfire because of that song. I had to listen to C&W all through the 70’s because that’s what my parents liked and so the radio in the kitchen was LOCKED onto WMZQ, DC’s country radio station. But it was all popular C&W tunes, so most of the stuff in this thread is unknown to me.
This thread has helped me with some ideas, and perhaps can help me find an obscure 70’s country fun song. I know a chunk of the lyrics that go something like “I got this big old computer, and now it’s looking up my redneck family tree” … computer “more beer please”
For years I’ve off and on been searching for the artist and song, but no luck.
Anyone heard of it?
