Take a step back, there Tim . . .

I heard Tim McGraw's new song, "I Need You" (featuring Faith Hill!) this evening. In it he sings:
"I wanna drink that shot of whiskey.
I wanna smoke that cigarette.
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath.
I wanna ride across West Virginia in the back seat of a Cadillac.
You know some cowboys like me go out like that."

Some cowboys like me? Forget that cigarette, Tim. You've apparently been smoking something a little stronger. I mean to compare oneself to Hank Williams is a ballsy maneuver. But Tim doesn't have time for half measures. He's not saying that Tim is like Hank, he's saying Hank is like Tim.
