TrailerTrap creator Blanco Brown is back with his music video for “CountryTime”! The song was originally slated to be Blanco’s debut single and introduction to the world, before he created “The Git Up” and felt compelled to shift plans. After being featured in the first episode of Netflix’s top trending series, Ginny & Georgia, “CountryTime” has found popularity. Watch the music video below!
“CountryTime” Official Music Video
The music video for the song was filmed in 2018 and mirrors the story of the song. Written about being so down and on the precipice of making a mistake out of desperation but choosing positivity instead, the video depicts Blanco’s frustration with the bank (the blue and red), plotting a robbery before choosing a better path for himself, in this case, music.
Whether due to coincidence or having been influenced by the song’s lyrics, the main character of Ginny & Georgia (Georgia) experiences similar hardships throughout the show. Show creator Sarah Lampert shared that the song was an inspiration in writing the character of Georgia and frequently played “CountryTime” while writing.
“I heard the song on a playlist randomly when I was working and it immediately became Georgia’s song when I was writing. Georgia has to balance so many different things, she’s beautiful, brilliant, devious, loving, dangerous and funny. The song felt like that for me. It was a blend of all different styles and was so unique in tone but fun and energetic,” shared Sarah Lampert, creator of Ginny & Georgia. “That became the song for Georgia that I’d play in the writers room. It had the fun energy I wanted for the show with an edge of something else brewing under the surface and had surprises. Also, it had that country flavor. I love it and that’s why it was put in that montage of Georgia in the pilot when we are first getting to know her.”
“To have a fellow creator be inspired by your work is an unbelievable feeling and makes me want to work harder—thank you, Sarah for helping share my purpose with the world,” said Blanco Brown. “Like most things in life, our plans for this song and video didn’t go the way we originally thought but I always felt there was something special about this song and I’m incredibly grateful to be here to witness this moment.”
In September, Blanco was in a life-threatening motorcycle accident that nearly claimed his life. He required several 12-hour surgeries and weeks in the ICU and is still on a journey to full recovery. Like “CountryTime,” Blanco is leaning on music to heal.

“CountryTime” Lyrics
Whoa
I hear the voices in my head
My middle finger’s ’bout to pledge
Oh, can’t you see that blue and red?
Some things are better left unsaid, yeah
I put two gunshots in the air
The people scattered everywhere
But I don’t really give a care, nope
Some things are just unfair
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I walk upright like a soldier
Yeah, I’m hot like Arizona
Mix the bacon and the soda
I ain’t mixin’ bakin’ soda
Mm, yay, yay, yay, yay
Ain’t scared of no rain
I walk upright like a soldier
Yeah, I’m cold as North Dakota
Mix the bacon and the soda
I ain’t mixin’ bakin’ soda
Mm, yay, mm, yay
Ain’t scared of no pain
I hear the voices in my head
My middle finger’s ’bout to pledge
Oh, can’t you see that blue and red?
Some things are better left unsaid, yeah
If you’re on one, on one
You just gotta hold on, hold on
We all need someone to lean on, yeah
But you gotta be strong, yeah
If you’re on one, on one
You just gotta hold on, hold on
We all need someone to lean on, yeah
But we gotta be strong, yeah
I put the gun up to my head (Head)
But I was already dead (Dead)
Sometimes you have to kill the flesh (Flesh)
To get some things up off your chest (Chest)
I heard the voices in my head
I’m screamin’ fuck the blue and red
Now it’s startin’ to all make sense
Some things are better left unsaid
Son of a gun stealin’ all the fun
In a barn full of corn where the steel mill turn
Limousine full of smoke with the windows down
Every day’s a new day, get your moonshine on
Hillbilly’s got to rockin’ and the rockin’ turned to dancin’
At a bonfire full of all paraphernalia, yuh, huh
Damn right, uh-huh
Son of a gun stealin’ all the fun
In a barn full of corn where the steel mill turn
Limousine full of smoke with the windows down
Every day’s a new day, get your moonshine on
Hillbilly’s got to rockin’ and the rockin’ turned to dancin’
At a bonfire full of all paraphernalia, yuh, huh
Damn right
I put two gunshots in the air
