I heard someone out poking fun
At the ol' country boy and the songs that he sung
Still cracking jokes he sarcastically implied
Let me guess your girls gone and your dog just died
And I said hey...

Chorus:
That's what I like about a country song
Where somebody done somebody wrong
Not just something that is understood
By those high rollers in Hollywood
It's about real folks living a real life with real problems, like and old ex wife
If you agree with the boys and me then sing along
That's what I like about a country song

Some like to rock, some like to roll
Some like it fast and some like it slow
If you're left or right or right down the middle
Everybody stops to listen when that bow hits the fiddle
It's music for the rich or poor
Hot mamas driving to the grocery store
All the farmers, the doctors
The truckers and the teachers
The young punks, the old drunks
Even Church of Christ preachers
PRAISE THE LORD!

That's what I like about a country song
Where somebody done somebody wrong
Not just something that is understood
By those high rollers in Hollywood
It's about real folks living a real life with real problems, like a future ex wife
If you agree with the boys and me then sing along
That's what I like about
That's what I like about
