Brad Paisley Is Tired of Cliched Country Lyrics. Really?

I know Brad Paisley has a great sense of humor. So I'm hoping he was being at least a little sarcastic when he said what he said about country music lyrics.

It has to be hard to always come up with something new to say. Especially when you've sung as many songs as Brad Paisley has. That's why I can understand his frustration when he recently said:

"There's a lot of stuff on the radio about, you know, put your tan legs on the dashboard and we'll roll around in the truck and go party. One of my frustrations is lyrics...I'm not saying the songs are bad, I'm just saying that we as writers can do better."

This coming from the artist who's current chart topper includes the line:

"If she was a drink
She'd be a single-barrelled
Bourbon on ice.
Smooth with a kick
A chill and a burn all
At the same time."

So I think the cliche's abound but that's because they hit on the themes that the fans understand.
