Karaoké That Ain't Country Aaron Lewis

What a sad state of affairs I'm in

'Cos I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit in

'Cos the country if you call it that from off the row 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 Grandad 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

I'd like to spit a little beech-nut right in that dude's eye

'Cos

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 Grandad 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 'bout a ramblin' man

And Junior's got a cold one in his hand

And the Possum's gettin' drunk again imagine that and Charlie Daniels playing fiddle underneath that hat

And John and June are goin' back and forth again

And David Allan Coe is singing 'bout his kin

And Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul

And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole

'Cos

That shit'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 Grandad 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
