"GOD, YOUR MAMA AND ME"

This song seems to be the apology/guilt response to virtually every other song in the repertoire. No trucks or whiskey or George Jones or nudists cavorting in the campfire light. Strange: where, early on, I was begging Florida Georgia line for something – ANYTHING! – different, I slowly changed my opinion. I didn't want "God, Your Mama and Me." I want them to keep churning out the same party song over and over in the fashion of Cal Ripken's streak. Sigh ...
