I can't think of who sings it or even the name of the song! It's driving me crazy. I don't like country music myself, but I was telling someone about the song. It's older (I heard it when I was younger and I'm 23 now) and is about a gun, I think. I think it also mentions a sheriff and may have the phrase "white trash" in it. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried searching, but can't find anything b/c of the little info I know.

No, it's none of those listed here. Thanks for the effort though! :) The song is mainly about a gun, not a sheriff! It just mentions a sheriff, I think. Also, remember this---it has the phrase "white trash" in it.

IT'S BY A MAN!!!!! lol It's not Reba, I assure you! Thanks for trying though. I don't think I'll ever figure it out. I'm sorry I couldn't be more detailed. Maybe I'll hear it again sometime. :) Thanks again.

Reba McEntire - The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia
He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her
Andy Wo-Lo said hello
He said "Hi what's a doing"
Wo said "Sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt"
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Since you been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy Seth
He got mad and he saw red
Andy said boy don't you lose your head
Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself
Chorus:
That's the night the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
Andy got scared and left the bar
Walking on home cause he didn't live far you see
Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
Brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing
Daddy had left him and that was a gun
He went off to Andy's house
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
He saw Andy lying on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
The Georgia patrol was making their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag em down
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
"Why'd you do it?"
The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile and said
"suppers waiting at home and i got to get to it"
Chorus
They hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin wife had never left town
And that's one body that'll be found
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
Repeat Chorus twice

It could possibly be "The Sheriff Of Boone County" by Kenny Price.
"........and I don't take no lip, and this cannon on my hip - let me tell ya boy, it ain't no toy. I wear a hat just like a Mountie, I'm the Sheriff of Boone County. Let me tell ya, you in a heap o' trouble, boy".

Billy Dean Billy the Kid
Strapped on my holster low across my hips
Two Colt .45's with white plastic grips
And I'd head west through our neighborhood
And they'd say 'Here comes young Billy
And he's up to no good'... yeah
I rode a trail through the neighbor's back yard
Shooting the bad guys through my handlebars
Known for my bravery both far and near
Being late for supper was my only fear
I miss Billy the kid
The times that he had
The life that he lived
I guess he must've got caught
His innocence lost
I wonder where he is
I miss Billy the kid
These days I don't know whose side to be on
There's such a thin line between right and wrong
I live and learn, do the best I can
There's only so much you can do as a man
I miss Billy the kid
The times that he had
The life that he lived
I guess he must've got caught
His innocence lost
Lord, I wonder where he is
I miss Billy the kid
I miss Billy the kid
The times that he had
The life that he lived
I guess he must've got caught
His innocence lost
Lord, I wonder where he is
I miss Billy the kid
