I got busy at work yesterday and forgot to post my song that I wanted to post, so I'm posting it a day late. The song is Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident) by John Michael Montgomery.
Picking this song for a couple of reasons. First, because I love everything John Michael has ever done. I was a huge fan of his back when he was popular. But second, because of just how funny the song is, both beat wise and lyrics. It's just one of those upbeat, funny, catchy songs that I love to listen to. It's kind of fast-paced, especially for a country song from back in the 1990's and I remember the first time I heard it, I knew I wanted to memorize the lyrics which took a while.
[Verse 1]
Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction
Where I saw something I just had to have
My mind told me I should proceed with caution
But my heart said go ahead and make a bid on that
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign?"
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call
Yeah, I've never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
And I'm sold on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
