14 Misheard Country Music Lyrics
Songwriters put a lot of time and energy into crafting the perfect lyric: Every word is important when it comes to using a song to tell a story or evoke a feeling. And, usually, professional songwriters are able to pull it off -- unless, of course, their lyrics are misheard.
