I turn on the country radio

And all I hear is fake country that doesn’t flow

I want to hear real country songs

Like the days of the outlaws

My parents raised me on the legends 

From the Man in Black to the Possum’ I fell in love in seconds

From Waylon’s blues to Party Time Hank’ they always take me back

The steel guitar and love for country is what today’s music lacks

Back in the 80’s’ they had it made

To live back then’ oh so much I would trade

To be able to experience George Jones and Hank Jr’ would be insane

To learn and experience them’ there would be so much knowledge to gain

Merle Haggard once sang about how Mamma Tried

But nowadays all people sing about is how they cried

It seems Country music is steering out of control

I miss the days when singers would sing from their soul

Now’ not all of today’s Country is bad

Like how Zach Bryan sings about the great mother he had

And how Morgan Wallen is putting country music at the top

But man’ a whole lot of country nowadays sounds like pop

I wish we could bring back old country music

Because today’s country is very punic

While there are times when the genre glows

I wish they still played country music on country radio
