Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Straight out of Nashville, here’s your next big star

He don’t write the songs he sings, but he knows the words by heart.

Wears a cowboy hat, and some tight blue jeans,

And he struts around the stage like he’s the coolest thing you’ve ever seen.

Oh you gotta love him!

He looks like a super model, knows how to strike a pose

And he don’t mind the make up as long as no one knows.

And he’s got that crooked grin, and talks with a southern drawl,

Acts like Toby Keith but sounds a lot like Tim McGraw

But if he’s country ill kiss your ass,

And throw all my Willie Nelson records in the trash.

He’s the same old shit in a slightly different bag,

But if he’s country, well then country’s pretty bad.

I don’t watch CMT

No that shit makes me sick.

And that ole Kenny Chesney,

What a hypocrite.

Hell swear he’s country

But he lives in the Caribbean.

Sings all about the islands now,

What happened to the Tennessean?

Aw if he’s country ill kiss your ass

Throw all my Johnny cash records in the trash

He’s all about image cause image pays the bucks,

Aw but if he’s country, well then country really sucks.

What happened to the outlaws?

Who weren’t afraid to cross the line?

What happened to the workin man?

Who sang the truth about their troubled lives?

I was raised in Georgia, in a one red light town.

And my daddy picked guitar in every honky tonk around

And he taught me all the good stuff,

That solid country gold, but now I love it all from hip-hop to rock and roll

And if that ain’t country, well I don’t give a damn

My daddy to be my own kinda man

He said son you don’t have to go along with the crowd aw

So if I ain’t Country then im pretty frikin proud

Oh well I don’t need their labels anyhow
