Not sure if this deserves a new topic or belongs here since it’s a song from another artist. I’m not a fan of country music but this one is about meeting a girl who’s crazy about GNR. No mention of Chinese Democracy or though.
I think we need a part 2.

Good enough song, but this reminds me why I don't like country. Why would you write a song like that?

I think that pretty much goes for most every country song. Simple life experiences and pleasures. Guy met a girl who was into GNR late night at a bar and they lived happily ever after.

Yeah, but the whole weaving in GN'R song titles part.

I would imagine because if the song is written from a real life experience then that's kinda what happened. Having said that, the narrative of the song says meeting her took place in 1987, which means Don't Cry hadn't been released yet so he must have met the world's biggest GnR fan for her to have said "Sweet Child O'Mine is ok but have you heard Don't Cry?"  The song also says she knew every B-Side so who knows.

I think it's a good song. As for why would you write a song like this? I don't know. Why would you write a song like My World or Get in the Ring? Or hell even Welcome to the Jungle? Why would you write any song?
