[B] [C] [C#]
[F] What [F#] a sad state of affairs I'm [D#m] in, cause I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit [F#] in.
This country, if you call it that from off the [C#] road, ain't country just because I'm old
enough to [F#] know that.
That ain't country, that's a natural fact.
[B] Full of tales of [C#] good times and happy endings, my life ain't like that.
[B] So I'll keep listening [C#] to the old songs [F#] that my granddad used to play.
Full of pain and [C#] heartache and desperation and the ones that got away, [B] the ones that
speak to me [C#] the way I [F#] feel today.
[D#m]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] Tell me whatever happened to the country, songs [D#m] full of truth and consequences, all
the things gone wrong.
[F#] Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie.
[C#] Like to spend a little beach night writing that new [B] tie, cause that [F#] ain't country.
That's a natural fact.

[C#] Listen here.
We [F#] got Waylon singing songs about a ramblin' man [D#m] and Junior's got a cold wound in his hand.
[B] The possum's getting drunk [F#] again, imagine that.
[C#] And Charlie Daniel's playing fiddle underneath that [F#] hat.
And John and Junior going back and forth again.
[D#m] And David Allen Coe is singing about his camp.
[F#] And Hagrid sings the songs that'll save your soul.
[C#] And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he's [B] stoked of.
That [F#] shit's country.
