I once worked at a dollar store where the manager insisted on only playing the country station, all day every day. I really got to know the top hits. This is the overwhelmingly consistent theme of the lyrics:
Be content with your poverty
Poverty is good
Be proud of your poverty
Be contemptful of anyone who doesn't live in poverty like you do
But also like the audience of most country music isn’t people in actual poverty! They’re people in the burbs who think they’re blue collar because they drive an F-150 to their job at Raytheon.

Also my dog left me for a Ford F150
