[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ there's a lot of songs about being country and driving tractors and _
_ Yeah, just horrible horrible stuff, and there's not just any just good country songs anymore
_ [G] So I wrote this this is my little country music protest tune.
It's a title [D] track to the new record _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C#m] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] Will the singer about Jesus the singer about _ Jones and a [G] single _ American [D] pride
_ But _ they're all too damn clean the polish like [Em] stones
And he won't sing about [A] cheating or lies _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Well, [D] I remember the days when the singers just sang [G] left it all in the stories [D] they tell
But _ _ [G] these days we're in [D] a I'm _ country heaven [A] and death

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [C#] _ [D] Well, I miss the days when the women were ugly [G] and the men were all
40 [D] years old
_ _ Cause you had to say something for people _
Listen, [E] but now they just do it [A] there
So [B] _ [A] oh _ _ _ _ _ [D] well, it's all about
Idols pretty blonde hair [G] and how many trucks you [D] can sell? _

Country heaven [A] and death femme _ [D] country hell
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Well out on these back [D] roads only real truth that I know
[A] _ Don't cross a [D] radio band _
_ _ _ [G] It cuts through static [D] like a chill in the air
_ [E] It fades out then it comes [A] back again _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [D] Well, I don't mean to sound jaded cuz I know there are plenty of [G] young singers who aren't up [D] for sale _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ [E] _ this first was written on a true story because I had a _ _ _ _ _ a
Good friend of mine who got signed to a record deal big major label deal _ _ _ _
Major label people who are supposed to be experts on country music
So _ right after he got signed they sent one of their executives down to check out the show _
_ Down here in Texas.
He's from right here in Austin
_ They sent one of their executives down to see what was going on down here _
He was doing pretty well and after the show we were all hanging out.
We're doing what we do at three o'clock in the morning We're playing
_ _ _ country songs on _ backstage
_ And I just happen to be
Back there watching all this happen and what happened was this record guy right in the middle of it turns to my friend
And he goes hey man play me something new something you're working on
so my friend starts strumming just like I'm doing right now and
three-four time waltz time _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
the way all those Merle Haggard and George Jones songs and
_ The _ _ _ _ way they were all done and _ _ [C#] this record guy cuts [E] him off before he ever sang one word
_ _ _ He goes hey man, I gotta stop you right there cuz we can't have a hit song country radio in three four time
_ And that just pissed me off
_ Nothing _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [E] _
says country music like three four time.
Come on now
_ So _ _ _ I went home and I wrote this verse for that record man
_ _ I'm gonna do the cleaned up version since we're going out on live.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh
Well, I knew it was [A] over
the [Em] day that I
over [A] heard a record _ _
