It ain't like it used to be
I'm so tired of this new stuff
They're tryin' to get me to sing
That ain't no country music to me
Well, you can only take so much
Of putting people down
When you got the best,
That's tryin' to beat your back doors down
Well, I used to think that country
Was out of Nashville Tennessee
But all I see in Nashville,
Is a bunch of backstabbers takin' you and me
They don't care about the music ya see
Well, I used to think that country
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
I'd rather take my things and
Go back to Texas ya see
Now, I would pack up
And I'd leave this dirty town
But they've done taken me for so much
That I can't get out now
Maybe one day but not right now
Well, I used to think that country
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
I don't think that country's here
'cause they killed it ya see
Well, I used to think that country
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
I'd rather take my things and
Go back to Texas ya see
Now Playin' country music It ain't like it used to be I'm so tired of this new stuff They're tryin' to get me to sing That ain't no country music to me Well, you can only take so much Of putting people down When you got the best, That's tryin' to beat your back doors down Well, I used to think that country Was out of Nashville Tennessee But all I see in Nashville, Is a bunch of backstabbers takin' you and me They don't care about the music ya see Well, I used to think that country Was out of Nashville, Tennessee I'd rather take my things and Go back to Texas ya see Now, I would pack up And I'd leave this dirty town But they've done taken me for so much That I can't get out now Maybe one day but not right now Well, I used to think that country Was out of Nashville, Tennessee I don't think that country's here 'cause they killed it ya see Well, I used to think that country Was out of Nashville, Tennessee I'd rather take my things and Go back to Texas ya see Explain Request ×
