Music Quotes:

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...
- Garth Brooks, The River

Story about this misheard lyric by: Orangie

My misinterpretation wasn't so far off, but just made me feel a little indecent singing it around my mom. Although I have had discussions with many people about which way the song really is - so I'm not the only one with my mind in the gutter.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"You Move Me"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
so i lie here on the couch, with my heart hanging out
Why They're Nonsensical:
i don't think i need to comment on this. What on earth ?????? sounds like attempted homocide to me.

"The Beaches Of Cheyenne"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Why They're Nonsensical:
This song is about a lady in California who wanders off into the ocean and drowns after she hears that her husband has been killed in a rodeo accident in Cheyenne, Wyoming. But it doesn't make any sense. Either she's walking the beaches of California, or she's doing something physically impossible, because last time I looked at a map, Wyoming was a landlocked state. I love you, Garth, but I just don't understand this song.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Ain't Going Down til the sun somes up"
The Dirty Lyrics:
Correct lyrics are: Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing
Why They're Dirty:
I have wondered if they are, just for the 'ain't going down' aspect - but I think it's just an expression for staying up all night. However, I had to point out that the interpretation by a previous poster actually contains the wrong lyrics!

"Ain't Going Down 'Til The Sun Comes Up"
The Dirty Lyrics:
10 and 12 it's wine and dancin'
midnight starts the hard romancin'
1 o'clock that truck is rockin'
2 he's cumming, still no stopping
Break and check the clock at 3
they're right on where they wanna be
4 o'clock they hit the floor
5 o'clock they're still screwin'
Why They're Dirty:
This part of the song is sung so fast its hard to hear. I had to listen to it several times to be sure I really heard what I thought I had! Try it yourself. the last word 'screwin'' is drawn out so it's very hard to identify. Naughty country music... who woulda thunked it?!?!

Performed by Garth Brooks as the fictional musician Chris Gaines from Garth's 1999 In The Life Of Chris Gaines album (a.k.a. Chris Gaines' Greatest Hits). According to the liner notes, this song came from Chris' 1991 Fornucopia album, and is supposedly a remake of a 1972 Ramsey Sellers song of the same name, sung in honor of his father who passed away a year earlier.
