The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars that tune good and firm feeling woman.

I'm a good ol' boy You know my mama loved me But she don't understand they keep a showin' my hands And not my face on TV

Straight'nin' the curve
Flat'nin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em, but the law never will.

Between Hank Williams' pain songs
And Newberry's train songs.

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field.

First, there isn't any such contraction as "livin''s". Even if there were, it would be more formally "living's", but even that would be agrammatical. Still, trying to shorten "living" to "livin'" and make a contraction with "'s" would force two adjacent apostrophes, as indicated, a quite unheard-of construction. The only remotely grammatical way to say what the song is saying here would use "living has" or "livin' has" instead. Secondly, The word "Between" in these lyrics should be replaced by "Among". Correct use of "between" is reasticted to reference to something between only two entities. So grouping more than two calls for "among" instead. The number of songs referred to after "Between" is indefinite, but it must be at least five, since the two song categories referred to are both plural, and then "Blue Eyes Cryin" In The Rain" is specifically added in addtion to those categories. Thirdly, the last line above uses the agrammatical "ain't" and is furthermore a triple negative. A correct way to state it would be either "There isn't anybody feelin' any pain." or "There is nobody feelin' any pain."
