Justin Moore Says "Outlaws like Me" Are Ignorant

Wes Laurie
Justin Moore's album "Outlaws Like Me" is not just an example of what is wrong with country music, but what is wrong with people in general. Music this stupid puts me in a bad mood.

"Redneck Side": He can't hide his redneck side and his voice gives that away as he sings lyrics about the issue, which he is proud of. Rednecks are caught in swimming pools naked at 2 am when taken to meet the city girl's folks, FYI. The music itself felt more suitable for a female country pop song, not sure why I say that, just what it sounded like to me.

"My Kind Of Woman": The first song clarified that he is a redneck and now he is letting it be known he prefers a woman of the same cloth. Boring song.

"If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away": He daydreams about taking his kids on a day trip to Heaven to meet their grandpa and some other dead relatives. The song goes on to talk about people who have died, like those girls from the class of '99. This song is successful in finding a concept to stab the hook into, but it's kind of goofy to me. The Jesus loves country music crowds might eat it up.

"Run Out Of Honky Tonks": Country classic rock ballad about bar hopping to stay drunk to get over a girl, another boring song. Justin Moore's voice goes beyond having country twang that is genre friendly and slides into annoyingly unintelligent sometimes.

"Beer Time": He's made some money selling puppies and owes several people money, but he needs to buy some beer first because: it's beer time. I can only see ignorant people liking this music. I am not saying all country music fans are stupid, I am just saying this song is stupid.

"Bait A Hook": A song about the girl he likes is with another guy, but Justin Moore is not worried about it because she'll come back to him seeing as her new fella can't even bait a hook; and so the song goes talking about how the guy doesn't know who Jack Daniels is or that he has never driven a truck, more country boys are the best blah blah blah. He sings about liking girls, but songs like this may make one wonder if Justin Moore is homosexual as he picks out what traits drive country girls wild. Shouldn't a girl be making those calls?

"Flyin' Down A Back Road": More country pandering, sure, it is a country song, but it's weak and stupid and is the type of music that makes me feel like it is trying to bilk money out of the stupid. He sings about all the great things he has done, but none of it compares to flyin' down a back road. A splash of jack is in his coke while he is driving by the way, in case you were looking for some justification for drinking and driving: it's country fun! When he mentions spotting deer in a hay field and cannot help, but think he means with a spotlight.

"If You Don't Like My Twang": Oddly enough this song addresses my complaints about the music potentially being for stupid people with the singer potentially being stupid and not just a crooked corporate puppet dipping into the genre. However, the song itself seems to say that the people who come to his concerts are a bit less intelligent than the average joe and he knows how his twang makes him sound. It's not the "twang" that bothers me, people with a twang can come across as smart, Justin Moore does not, not in this music any way.

"Guns": Seriously, it's an ode to guns and preaching about people trying to take them away and as long as he is alive you won't be able to take them from him. Ha ha. This is pathetic and ignorant. I'm not anti-guns either!

"Sunshine Babies": He's yelling, not really singing, so an attempt at some boot stomp organ banging country rock. I like girls in swimsuits, but calling them sunshine babies and crooning about it is stupid. "All across the land, working on a tan" - ha ha hawful.

"Til My Last Day": He's a rough boy, but he's a lover too and wants to rest in her angel eyes and he'll be around for her. A go nowhere song.

"Bed Of My Chevy":
This song is pretty much the same song as most of the others, just now what's romantic about being in the country or being with a country boy is the bed of a Chevy truck.

"Outlaws Like Me": I guess he is singing about how bad he is, but he holds it back to love his woman. "God bless outlaws like him, because he is so great; great at being good, great at being bad, not great at making country music.
