Modern Guy

When I was studying and playing “Love Your Love the Most,” I noticed how weird it felt for me to sing about loving college football games, NASCAR, small mouth bass and my truck (I don’t drive a truck), etc., and it made me think that while I don’t fit the exact archetype of the “country” guy, that there’s another kind of country music fan out there… like myself. So I wrote a song about being a modern, sensitive kind of guy who loves and supports his wife, who is a good listener most of the time, but still needs to get rowdy to recharge.
Maybe it’s a bit too literal. The chorus starts “I’m a modern guy,” but then again, maybe that lack of metaphor allows sincerity to seep through. I don’t know. The arrangement is still kind of loose (especially since it’s just me and a guitar), but I feel like it’s close. What do y’all think?
