When God Made Country Music (The Barn Sessions)

When God made country music, I bet he worked real hard

To find a few folks that he knew, could sing it from the heart

It was honest it had soul and it sang about the truth

It made you laugh it made you cry it made you think things through

When God made country music, and put it through hank snow

He sang it with the steel ride, that chilled ya to the bone

When god made country music and put it through john prine

He knew that he could count on him to find the perfect lines

They had something real, something you could feel

It had nothin to do with signing the next big deal

The fame and the money ain’t the reason that we do this

That ain’t why God made country music

When God made country music, oh he musta known

If you were lost and low them country roads, would always take you home

I bet he made this music, to help folks like you and me

Through the hard times and the heartaches, to help us all believe

When God made country music and he put through Patsy Cline

She made us fall to pieces, she got you every time

When God made country music, and put it through the man in black

We got a legend that I highly doubt anybody’ll ever match

Cause they had something real, something you could feel

It had nothin to do with signing the next big deal

The fame and the money ain’t the reason that we do this

That ain’t why God made country music

I don’t mean to preach

Maybe its just me

But I bet theres a few more out there that believe

When God made country music, he put in us all

So ya better know just what it is when you get that call

And sing something real, somethin you can feel

Don’t worry about signin the next big deal

Ya the fame and the money ain’t reason that we do this

That ain’t why God made country music

That ain’t why God made country music
