Words That Do Not Belong In Country Songs, Part V
Groovin', as in "When the Sun Goes Down":
    'cause when the sun goes down
    we'll be groovin'
    when the sun goes down
    we'll be feelin' alright
Kenny Chesney, you used to be a cowboy. Why, you once stole a horse from the Law. But the beachfront property addled your brain, and suddenly you're sounding like something out of a 50s sock hop....granted, one where you've snuck in some booze, but come on, groovin'?


Exception to the Rule: I guess you can talk about groovin' if and only if you're singing about a plunge router, perhaps in a song entitled "If I Could, I Wood" about being briefly lonely when your woman tells you to choose between her and your sweet basement workshop.
