We've all been there — and apparently some country artists have been "those people"

I'll admit it — I'm a fan of country music. Maybe that is because nowadays country music is walking the fine line between real country and pop, but nonetheless my car radio is always set to the country station. On the long drives home, I hear a lot of the Country Top 40 — but as I sing along, I sometimes look around my empty car and think, "Um did y'all hear what he/she just said? They sound like such a creeper!" So here is a list of 13 lyrics from country's newest hits . . . and all the weird connotations that come with them.

1. Chris Young, "I'm Comin' Over"

I'm comin' over

runnin' every red light

Calm down, Chris Young. No need to risk the safety of other drivers by running red lights. Geesh. You think your lover will want to get that phone call? No.

2. Cole Swindell, "Middle of a Memory"

We got blindsided by your friends

All in a hurry like you had to go

Didn't they know you can't leave someone

If the girl your dancing with is hurried out of the club by her friends, it is likely because she made eye contact with one of them at one point that said Get me out of here! Sorry, Cole, maybe she's just not that into you.

3. Billy Currington, "It Don't Hurt Like it Used To"

Life is good, I'll marry a girl

She got a beautiful heart, eyes are blue

I don't hardly ever think about you

Billy, does your wife know you're still in love with another woman?

4. Big & Rich (ft. Tim McGraw), "Who You've Been Loving Lately"

Who you've been lovin' lately

Who you've been callin' baby

Who you've been runnin' around in this tell all town

Y'all are broken up? I don't really think it's your business, dude.

5. Sam Hunt, "Break Up in a Small Town"

Your mailbox is seven minutes from mine

And I drive into town sometimes, and I see you sittin' there with him

And I wanna jump out

I wanna fight

First of all, why are you getting all violent? You two broke up; she can sit in town with another guy. Second of all, why do you know down to the minutes how far away her mailbox is? Creepy.

6. Carrie Underwood, "Dirty Laundry"

Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry

Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line

We've seen "Crazy Carrie" in songs like "Before He Cheats," when her character takes to vandalizing her cheating boyfriend's car — but this is a little dirty! I get it, that man betrayed your trust, but telling the whole town about all the crap he did? This is not gonna be a good day.

7. Dierks Bentley, "Somewhere on a Beach"

Heard you called my boys,

Heard you called my folks

They said you drove by my house real slow

This is kind of the reverse of the crazy mentioned so far — but dang! Dierks's ex needs to chill with the stalking.

8. Granger Smith, "If the Boot Fits"

Just a small town Cinderella

Daddy wants you back home by midnight

Every time we're together

Yeah, that's my dilemma

Her dad is just protecting her from a guy who thinks "You can be the one I can get lucky with." Just take her home, man.

9. Blake Shelton, "She's Got a Way with Words"

She put the her in hurt

She put the why in try

She put the S.O.B. in sober

She put the hang in hangover

So glad that all your new girlfriend does is add a little extra meaning to a couple words. That's real relationship material right there...

10. Dierks Bentley (ft. Elle King), "Different for Girls"

It's different for girls when their hearts get broke

They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and Coke

Mmm speak for yourself. Girls can drown their sorrows in alcohol too — and also, why is a man singing about the way girls feel about breakups?

11. Sam Hunt, "House Party"

You're on the couch, blowing up my phone

You don't want to come out, but you don't want to be alone...

We'll have a house party, we don't need nobody

Turn your TV off, break that boom-box out

We'll wake up all the neighbors 'til the whole block hates us

Sam, she doesn't want a house party. She literally just wants you to come over. Why do you need to turn it into a huge thing? She doesn't wanna turn off the TV, and she definitely doesn't want her neighbors to hate her in the morning. Dial it back a bit, sir.

12. Old Dominion, "Break Up with Him"

I know, you don't wanna break his heart, but that ain't no good reason to be keeping us apart look,

just tell him, it's you, it ain't him,

and maybe you can lie to him and say you'll still be friends"

Two things: 1) if she doesn't want to break his heart, she probably cares about him and doesn't want to be with you. Hang up. 2) that whole "you can lie and say you'll still be friends" sounds kinda possessive, like you-can-date-me-and-I-won't-let-you-be-friends. Hang up. Please girl, just hang up.

13. Miranda Lambert, "Mama's Broken Heart"

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors

I screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops

I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver

Cutting your own hair, screaming, binge drinking — sounds like the perfect concoction for a crazy ex to me!


Don't get me wrong; I love all of these songs. They are catchy and the vocalists are talented, but remember kids, it is really important to actually listen to the lyrics you're belting away — you never know what you might really be saying.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
