Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The Gambler"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: On a warm summer's evenin',
on a train bound for nowhere Why They're Nonsensical: Do trains ever really run without any destination? I've certainly never heard of a train bound for nowhere. After all, unlike cars or trucks, which one can drive around aimlessly and turn on a whim, trains are on tracks directing them somewhere in particular.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Lucille"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: After she left us, I ordered more whiskey
Why They're Misrhymed: ok, so there are some rhymes in this song and I know Kenny didn't intend these lines to rhyme. But whenever I heard this song I just wanted to sing, 'After she left us, I ordered more breakfast.'

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Through the Years"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I can't remember when you weren't there
when I didn't care for anyone but you Why They're Inappropriate: The lyrics, tangled as they are, amount to the statement 'I don't care for you, and I can't remember ever *having* cared for you '.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Through the Years"
The Lyrics: I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you. Why: I think Kenny means he can't remember a time when he DID care for anyone but the woman he's serenading, but what he SAYS is the exact opposite - i.e. "Honey, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with somebody else, but it was never with you."

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town)"
The Lyrics: She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
Just the way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before. If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground. Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town. Why: The tune has a cadence reminiscent of many a happy traveling song that might be about one sailing down a highway with a free wind blowing through one's hair. But the lyrics are another thing entirely. They are the lament off a paralyzed Vietman veteran who is observing his wife stepping out on him like many times before, and there is nothing he can do about it but lie in his bed helplessly.

| "Lucille"
The Lyrics: You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille!
Four hungry children and a crop in the field. Why: The melody to the song, especially to these words of the chorus, is a lilting one that could be at home in anything from a joyful hymn to the music played by a carnival ride. But the song is about meeting, in a bar, a woman who ran out on her husband, and then meeting her husband, who, with the words of this chorus, laments her leaving him.
