Country music nowadays It ain’t my favorite type Well I rather see my heroes Play and sing all night
And I was born too late So I guess I’ll settle for this But play me a Hank song And I’ll try to imagine it
Dear country music I just want you to know When you censor a heart You only get back half his soul And I’m sorry ’cause I don’t hate it I just hate the pony show I think it’s all time we step back And listen to a song Hank Williams wrote
I’m not saying That things should never change And I know it’s always different With every single age
I want an honest song Some three chords and the truth Is that too much to ask Or am I just a burden to you?
Dear country music I wanted you to know When you censor a heart You only get back half his soul And I’m sorry ’cause I don’t hate it But I hate the pony show I think it’s all time we step back And listen to a song Merle Haggard wrote
Now I’m not saying there’s people out there that are doing it right This song’s not about the music It’s about the spotlight
So dear country music I just thought you should know When you censor a heart You only get back half his soul And I’m sorry ’cause I hate it And I hate the pony show I think it’s all time we step back And listen to a song our heroes wrote
