That Aint Country

Intro: x2 What a sad state of affairs I'm in 'Cause I'm tryin' to compete where I just don't fit in The country if you'd call it that from off the row It ain't country, trust me 'cause I'm old enough to know that That ain't country That's a natural fact It's full of tales of good times and happy endings My life ain't like that So I'll be listenin' to the old songs That my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation And the ones that got away The songs that speak to me The way I feel today So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs Full of truth and consequences or the things gone wrong? Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie Like this _______ and that ______, 'cause That ain't country That's a natural fact It's full of tales of good times and happy endings My life ain't like that So I'll be listenin' to the old songs That my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation And the ones that got away The songs that speak to me The way I feel today (Strum once, let ring) We got Waylon singin' songs 'bout a ramblin' man (Strum once, let ring) And Junior's got a cold one in his hand (Strum once, let ring) And the Parson's gettin' drunk again, imagine that With Charlie Daniels playin' fiddle underneath that hat John and Junior goin' back and forth again And David Allen Coe is singin' 'bout his kin Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul Willie's songs are all about the hearts he's stole, 'cause That shit's country That's a natural fact It's full of tales of hard times and complications Ain't life like that? So I'll be listenin' to the old songs That my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation And the ones that got away The songs that speak to me The way I feel today The songs that speak to me The way I feel today x2
