That Ain't Country

you know i'm kinda gettin sick
oh all these country wanna be
hypercrits
all singing about the beach
and places folks like me
dont ever get to see
unless we join the military
oh

that aint country
you're just singing some song
that some big shot wrote
goin through the motions
learnin the notes
its always the same things
talkin about dairy queen
and pick up trucks
its gettin kind of old
music rows done lost its soul
with this manufactured pop crap
come on ya'll lets take it back
cuz its about more then the money
ya'll that aint country

they'll make anyone a super star
as long as you can fake playin a guitar
ya'll i'm sure this would break ole Waylon's heart
and we know Hank sure didnt do it this way
it kills me that the people on stage
are makin the big pay
when they dont even write their own songs
where the hell did we go so worng

that aint country
you're just singing some song
that some big shot wrote
goin through the motions
learnin the notes
its always the same things
talkin about dairy queen
and pick up trucks
its gettin kind of old
music rows done lost its soul
with this manufactured pop crap
come on ya'll lets take it back
cuz its about more then the money
ya'll that aint country

the record man has done taken it too far
with folks that never played in a honky tonk bar
i just want to get back to the way things use to be
so if you agree
come on and stand up with me
oh

that aint country
you're just singing some song
that some big shot wrote
goin through the motions
learnin the notes
its always the same things
talkin about dairy queen
and pick up trucks
its gettin kind of old
music rows done lost its soul
with this manufactured pop crap
come on ya'll lets take it back
cuz its about more then the money
ya'll that aint country
