Karaoké Kicked Outta Country George Strait

I just got the news today

The record I sent 'em they threw it away

It don't fit the format

Don't make the list

They say I'm too old

Won't even be missed

It happened to Jones and even The Hag

Waylon and Willie and the great Johnny Cash

Kicked 'em right out without even a word

But that ain't the end of the story I heard

'Cos Cash stomped out the footlights and Haggard for long had a ball

And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation and Jones never showed up at all

They lived what they wrote and they wrote what they sang and gettin' kicked outta country didn't hurt a thing

Gettin' kicked outta country didn't hurt a thing

I just wrote a new song today

Pulled out my old guitar and I started to play

Pressin' my fingers into the strings

I felt the feelings a country song brings

I did some Jones and one for The Hag

Waylon and Willie and the great Johnny Cash

They all got kicked outta country back then but then one day country came callin' again

And Cash stomped out the footlights and Haggard for long had a ball

And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation and Jones showed up after all

They lived what they wrote and they wrote what they sang

Gettin' kicked outta country didn't hurt a thing

Gettin' kicked outta country didn't hurt a thing

Well it don't really matter 'cos I ain't gonna change so gettin' kicked outta country won't hurt a thing
