That Ain’t Country

What a sad state of affairs I'm in Cause I'm tryin to compete where I just don't fit in Cause the country (if you call it that) from off the road Ain't country just because I'm old enough to know that That ain't country That's a natural fact They're full of tails of good times and happy endings My life ain't like that So I'll keep listening to the old songs That my Grandad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs Full of truth and consequences all the things gone wrong Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie I'd like to spit a little beachnut right in that dude's eye, cause That ain't country That's a natural fact They're full of tails of good times and happy endings My life ain't like that So I'll keep listening to the old songs That my Grandad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today (Now listen here) We got Waylon singin songs bout a Ramblin Man And Junior's got a cold one in his hand And the Pussum's gettin drunk again imagine that And Charlie Daniels playin fiddle underneath that hat And John and June are goin back and forth again And David Allan Coe is singin bout his kin And Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole, cause That shit's country That's a natural fact It's full of tails of hard times and complications Ain't life like that So I'll keep listening to the old songs That my Grandad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today The ones that speak to me The way I feel today
