Country, a language onto it's own? Part 1

I don't have as much time as I'd like to really go into this right now, so this is going to be broken into a few short parts.

Eric Church- Drink in My Hand.

"I take my jacked up drop her down in 4x4" I've had this line in my head for a while, and I realized I was unconsciously singing it out loud. While I have Skype open.

Now not that bad of a thing, but I'm the only one that I know of on there that lives in the 'south' and as such probably the only one who's heard this song.  Still not bad, but I do have to wonder, if any of them heard that line, would they actually understand it?  I do, I'm sure a lot of people that listen to country music do.  But other people?

"Chill down a long neck, warm up the band" A bit clearer, but again, it makes sense to me, but to others?

I could leave it here and not actually explain those lines, but I'll be nice.


"I take my jacked up drop her down in 4x4"- jacked up= pick up truck, one with those big tires so it's jacked up higher then normal; drop her down in 4x4= put it in 4 wheel drive.
"Chill down a long neck, warm up the band- Should be easy, cool off a beer, not going to explain 'warm up the band'
