What are some songs that you can think of that only say their title once in the song? Or even at all?
Miranda Lambert- Kerosene (said in second verse)
Charlie Daniels- The Devil Went Down To Georgia
Rascal Flatts- The Mechanic
Songs that don't state the title in the lyrics
Charlie Daniels- Reflections
Steve Earle- The Unrepentant
Hope that kinda explains it

Rosanne Cash's "Blue Moon with Heartache" has both "blue moon" and "heartache" in the first verse, but never uses the complete title at all.
"Good Directions" by Billy Currington saves the title for the very last line.

(It's not country, but obligatory "Baba O'Reily" by the Who mention. No, it's not called "Teenage Wasteland.") Mentioned Once: Chris Knight - Becky's Bible John Prine - Six O'Clock News Sturgill Simpson - Turtles All the Way Down (I want to say Sturgill does this quite a bit) Townes Van Zandt - Silver Ships of Andilar (Townes did this a lot) Never Mentioned: Alan Jackson - The Firefly's Song Brad Paisley - The Cigar Song Brooks & Dunn - The Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker Diamond Rio - The Ballad of Billy and Conley (The Proof is in the Pickin') Guy Clark - The Last Gunfighter Ballad Steve Earle - Tom Ames' Prayer (btw, very nice taste, zack97) Tom T. Hall - The Ballad of Forty Dollars and every instrumental song ever, naturally.  I'll definitely post more as I remember them. |

Bucky Covigton's "A Fathers Love" and Matt Kennon's "The Call". Not to be nit-picky, but the title of Bucky's song (also recorded by High Valley) is "A Fathers Love (The Only Way He Knew How)". "The Only Way He Knew How" is said throughout the song. Much like "Skin (Sarabeth)" by Rascal Flatts. Are we counting the parenthesis? |

Thanks Andy you have great taste as well! And btw Sturgill does actually state Turtles All The Way Down near the end of the song sabre14 considering you could make a whole other thread on songs whose titles are in the parenthesies, i suppose they do count but i don't think it really matters |

Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood - "The Call" (they say 'call' a few times [I'm not supposed to call you], but never 'THE call' - maybe that doesn't count though)

"She Likes It in the Morning" by Clay Walker drops it right out of the gate and never comes back to it.

"The Last Word" by Mary Chapin Carpenter is an excellent example of this. If you listen to the song without knowing the title, the song doesn't make much sense, but then when you learn it, it's like "oh snap!"
