[Verse 1]
Everyone's here, talking and dancing
They're having a good time
But it's hard to smile when my friends all know
I got you on my mind
Hey I'm not in the mood
To hear another fast dancing song
I don't care if it's old country gold or new country soul
I've had enough of this rock-and-roll

[Chorus]
Let's keep the heart in the country
Because that's where it should always be
Don't get me wrong, I like to party
But tonight I must sit this one out, you see
Because the one I love is leaving
Bartender, bring me whiskey please
Let's keep the heart in the country
Because love has torn the heart right out of me

[Verse 2]
Now that was great
Please thank the band for playing that song
It was nice and smooth
Like this Kentucky brew that I am sipping on
Oh how I'll miss her
But I got my music and now I'll get along
I don't feel bad now, you see
Misery loves company in a country song
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Let's keep the heart in the country
Because love has torn the heart right out of me
