I like listening to Lucinda Williams
I always thought she was just being bleak
I didn't know anyone could hurt that bad
'Til you made a country singer out of me

Country singers are just bitchers and moaners
The trick is making the pain sound sweet
I didn't have much to say about heartbreak
'Til you made a country singer out of me

Sure, I drove an old truck around
And I wore tight Wrangler jeans
But I didn't know what sorrow was
And the truck was Japanese
The truck was just Japanese

I liked cowboy hats before I met you
Clean white shirts and dirty jeans
But I didn't like the twang and the strains of sadness
'Til you made a country singer out of me

Sure, I drove an old truck around
And I wore tight Wrangler jeans
But I didn't know what sorrow was
And the truck was Japanese
The truck was just Japanese

And now there's a man here who wants to thank you
For making me cry and stumble and sing
He's a record company man, and he's grateful
You made a country singer out of me

Sure, I write the songs and sing them
But you are the reason I'm here
I tried to give you all my love
You gave me a career

Country singers are just bitchers and moaners
The trick is making the pain sound sweet
I didn't have much to say about heartbreak
'Til you made a country singer out of me
'Til you made a country singer out of me
