[E] The camera [A] rolls on.
[D] [A]
The ratings are waiting on a mixed sensation.
[E] The camera [A] rolls on.
Are those some characters that have played a role in your life?
Some fictitious characters also?
Those were things that our guys found.
[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.
