Country Gentleman

For years I've said that "Country Gentleman"  by Family Force 5 is my life's theme song. This song isn't necessarily my "favorite" song but it is definitely one of my favorites and it's the one that I feel I can most closely relate to. The band members of the band that plays this song are all from Georgia so they have a pretty good idea about what it means to be a "Southern Gentleman" (the same thing as "Country Gentleman"). This song covers many aspects of the south. The song talks about the "Pig Wig" (which is the "Piggly Wiggly" for those who have seen this rare, south-centric grocery store). The song also mentions mullets, tank tops, ball caps, and collard greens. When I think of a Country Gentleman I think of what my Dad taught me to do when I was in Kindergarten. As far back as I can remember he told me to always hold open the doors for women (whether you liked them or not), to always say "please and thank you" and "yes ma'am and no ma'am". Although my standards for being a Country Gentleman are different that Family Force 5's standards, the phrase still is a constant reminder of my childhood and how I was raised to be.
