I was thinking after I posted (distressingly familiar feeling, that), that looking for smart, witty lyrics in country music is probably more trouble than it's worth, although Rockabilly may be a different story (I would direct your attention to Exhibit A: Reverend Horton Heat, and specifically the ditty "Interracial Cowboy Homo Kind of Love").
So what I am saying is that The Devil Went Down to Georgia is not more nonsensical than any other country song, and a lot less than most. I realize that this is like a gold medal in the special olympics, but I think the objections to this tune are less to the lyrics and more to the country aesthetic behnd them.
