_ [F] _ _
_ [D#] I'm kind of a guy lost in another era. _
I wish it were 1960 and I were Harlan Howard's best friend.
He just rolled into town and I was in town.
[A] Willie was in town and everybody was sitting around [E] playing songs at night.
And hanging out together.
I would love to be in that [N] world.
I can't be, but I still sort of am anyway.
In my own mind.
I would love you to play a little more country than this.
[D] Tell us how that song [B] came to be. _
[F] Well, that was the opposite of how I usually write. _
Because that was basically a title.
Me, _ [B] Win Barbel, [D#] Don Poitras had all gone to a songwriter's retreat for another artist.
And we were all sitting around writing [C#] songs for this artist.
And [D#] I had written a song earlier that morning.
And then [E] now [N] it was the afternoon and I was writing with three different guys.
So we were sitting there writing. _ _
_ Somehow that title or something close to that title came out.
And we just started singing.
And the lyric just started falling out.
Win lives on a farm out here by us.
Maybe 20 minutes away from here.
And we live on a farm.
And so all that lyric rings pretty true.
And [C#m] so it just [N] unravelled, unfolded really fast.
We loved the song.
The artist didn't.
[E] So it sat on a shelf for about five or six years.
And then it finally got recorded and [A#] put a brand new tin roof on our farmhouse.
So my bride is really [E] happy about that.
_ [F] But that was one of those songs that I knew it was [D#] a really good song.
And [A#] all my [A] buddies and co-writers, they were like, this song [C#m] is a hit.
Now who was [B] the first one that you wrote it for? _
We wrote it for a kid named Blaine Larson.
_ [E] But Blaine never recorded it.
And so it sat on a [Dm] shelf and kind of got close with George Strait and a bunch of different people.
And it finally got cut by Easton Corbin.
And that was his first single and ended up [C] being a [Dm] big number one song for him.
_ But I love that.
Sometimes when no's happen, when you hear that [Em] what you want to happen isn't going to happen,
it just means there's a better plan.
And that one, I couldn't [A] have scripted any better.
[E] It worked out perfect.
It came around when we needed it to come [N] around.
And even more so maybe when country music needed [E] to hear some great traditional country music on the [F#] radio. _
_ [B] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Imagine a dirt road full of _ potholes and a creek bank with some cane [G#m] poles catching channel cats.
_ _ [B] _
I'm a little [C#] more country [F#] than that. _
_ _ Think of a small town with an old hound laying out front of the _ [G#m] courthouse.
See old men chew the fat.
[A#] _ [B] _
I'm a little [C#] more country [F#] than that. _
_ _ I [B] just want to [F#] make sure you know just who you're getting [B] under this old hat.
_ _ [F#] [B] Cause girl I'm [F#] not the [G#m] kind to two [F#] time or play [B] games behind your back.
_ _ [F#] _ I'm a little more country than that. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Think of a Merle song from days gone with a steel ride that's so strong [G#m] it sends chills up your back.
_ [A#] _
[B] _ I'm a [F#] little more country than that.
_ _ If you want a brick home in a school zone with the doors locked and alarms on.
[G#m] _ Well honey you're way off track.
[A#] _
[B] _ I'm a little more [C#] country [F#] than that.
_ _ _ _ [B] Yeah I'm [F#] sure that you've heard [G#m] those three words [F#] from others [B] but they fell flat.
[A#] _
[B] But this ring [F#] ain't something [G#m] that I mean [F#] to give you [B] and then take back.
_ [F#] _ I'm a little more country than that. _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ I'm a little [C#] more country [F#] than that.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ I'm a little [F#m] more [C#] country [F#] than that. _ _
