Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life.
I love True Grit. I love lindentree and her stories about Mattie and LaBoeuf, which are absolutely worth reading if you like attention to detail and excellent characterisation. I love cover songs.
I do not like country music.
And yet, I have piled up 10 cover songs, eight of which seem to carry traits of country music! Or at least cowboy music! Songs about stubborn people in love and being really bad at it seem popular in the country genre. Thus, this.
For the record, every song is from the perspective of LaBoeuf.
Especially "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys".
Mattie is much too sensible for such maundering.

1 White Blank Page ~ Taylor Swift via Mumford & Sons
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections
2 Crazy ~ The Kills via Patsy Cline
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
3 Territorial Pissings ~ Rachel Goodrich via Nirvana
Gotta find a way
To find a way
When I'm there
Gotta find a way
A better way
I better wait
4 The Scientist ~ Willie Nelson via Coldplay
Come up to meet you,
Tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart
5 Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys ~ Karen O and the Kids via Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do,
Sometimes won't know how to take him.
He ain't wrong, he's just different but h
6 Apartment Story ~ Antarctica Takes It via The National
Can you carry my drink, I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself
I'm getting tired, I'm forgetting why
Oh, we're so disarming, darling, everything we did believe
Is diving, diving, diving, diving off the balcony
Tired and wired, we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
7 Rolling In the Deep ~ Young the Giant via Adele
See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
8 Love Love Love ~ Matt Nathanson via The Mountain Goats
some things you'll do for money and some you'll do for fun,
but the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one.
love love is going to lead you by the hand
into a white and soundless place.
now we see things as in a mirror dimly.
then we shall see each other face to face.
9 My Body Is A Cage ~ Peter Gabriel via Arcade Fire
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
10 Love Me ~ Department Of Eagles via Elvis Presley
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
