Lyrics
It was there when I was sixteen in my dad's car
When he said son you drive
It was there for my first beer in a bar
On a Saturday night
The bad days, the good times
The soundtrack to my life
Ain't that just like a country song?
When it comes on
It takes you back home down a backroad
Where you came from
The second it starts to play
You get lost in it for three minutes
Ooh, it just has a way
Of makin' you laugh, makin' you cry
Teaching you wrong and right
Does all that while you sing along
Ain't that just like a country song?
Well it's always somewhere on the radio dial
When I need it most
Just like the night we danced in those headlights
And I held her close
The music, the moonlight
The right words right on time
Ain't that just like a country song?
When it comes on
It takes you back home down a backroad
Where you came from
The second it starts to play
You get lost in it for three minutes
Ooh, it just has a way
Of makin' you laugh, makin' you cry
Teaching you wrong and right
Does all that while you sing along
Ain't that just like a country song?
Tells you to call your mama 'cause it's been a while
Be kind to strangers, leave 'em with a smile
Love who you love, raise your cup
Yeah, that's just what it does
It takes you back home down a backroad
Where you came from
The second it starts to play
You get lost in it for three minutes
Ooh, it just has a way
Of makin' you laugh, makin' you cry
Teaching you wrong and right
Does all that while you sing along
Ain't that just like a country song?
Oh, ain't that just like a country song?
Ain't that just like a country song?
When it comes on
Ain't that just like a country song?
