Now playin' country music

It ain't like it used to be

I'm so tired of this new stuff

They're tryin' to get me to sing

That ain't no country music to me

Well, you can only take so much

Of putting people down

When you got the voice

That's tryin' to beat your back doors down

Well, I used to think that country

Was out of Nashville, Tennessee

But all I see in Nashville

Is a bunch of backstabbers takin' you and me

They don't care about the music, ya see

Well, I used to think that country

Was out of Nashville, Tennessee

I'd rather take my things and

Go back to Texas, ya see

Now, I would pack up

And I'd leave this dirty town

But they've done taken me for so much

That I can't get out now

Maybe one day but not right now

Well, I used to think that country

Was out of Nashville, Tennessee

I don't think that country's here

Because they killed it, ya see

Well, I used to think that country

Was out of Nashville, Tennessee

I'd rather take my things and

Go back to Texas, ya see
