What a sad state of affairs I'm in Cause I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit in Cause a country, if you call it that from off the road Ain't country just because 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 keep listening to the old songs that my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me the way I feel today So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs Full of truth and consequences, all the things gone wrong Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie Like to spend a little beach night writing that new Zyko 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 keep listening to the old songs that my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me the way I feel today Now listen here We got Waylon singing songs about a rambling man And Junior's got a cold one in his hand And the possum's getting drunk again, imagine that And Charlie Daniel's playing fiddle underneath that hat And John and Junior going back and forth again And David Alamco is singing about his kin And Hagrid sings the songs that'll save your soul And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole Cause that ***'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 keep listening to the old songs that my granddad used to play Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away The ones that speak to me the way I feel today The ones that speak to me the way I feel today Thanks for watching!
