so am I. despite the fact that I get that same country feeling with
that song sometimes. not the up-in-the-hills, dance-with-yer-sister
kind of country. something closer to that pop-radio-friendly country.
but I'm puzzled as to exactly why myself. I can't put my finger on it.

there are a lot of places down here in Georgia that'll respond to "give
me a Coke" with "what kind?" in fact, we do that in my family. if
there's a two-liter of Dr. Pepper and a two-liter of Coke, and you ask
for "a Coke" you'll be asked "which one? just regular Coke?"
