Well I walked into the honky-tonk with that jukebox blarin loud
There was some rednecks and some hippies, and some business types about
And the topic was country music and then a bar room fight broke out
So I jumped on the band stand sayin let's clear up all this doubt

[Chorus]
Now do you want old country or do you want new country?
Are ya died in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way I'm fine but don't waste my time make up your damn mind
Well a friend of mine played bass one time, tried to sing like old Hag
Till he finally had to quit his gig cause his wife did nothin but nag
He said boy things ain't what they used to be
We argue every day
I want to listen to Kitty Wells, she loves Billy Ray

[Chorus]
Hey do you want old country or do you want new country?
Are ya died in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way I'm fine but don't waste my time make up your damn mind
I guess we're never gonna settle this argument so I ain't gonna even try
Some of this stuff I hear these days makes me break right down and cry
So I'll put in my two cents worth and I hope it's understood
Don't worry if country's old or new, just worry bout it bein good
[Chorus]
Yeah do you want old country or do you want new country?
Are ya died in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way I'm fine but don't waste my time make up your damn mind

[Chorus]
Yeah do you want old country or do you want new country?
Are ya died in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way I'm fine but don't waste my time make up your damn mind
