The Difference Between Country And The Blues

Country
Man drives his pick-up truck home from working double shift in a hot and smelly factory. He finds his small battered house empty with only the dog on the mat and a note from his woman that she's left him and taken all their belongings.
Sad. That's country.

Blues
Man finds his pick-up truck gone after working double shift at a hot and smelly factory. He walks 10 miles home in the cold pouring rain only to find his small, shabbly house empty with a note to from his woman to tell him that she's taken all their belongings, his truck *and* his dog.
Tragic. That's the blues
