| [00:11.430] |
Shotgun in my daddy's truck |
| [00:14.180] |
Eight years old and acting tough |
| [00:16.720] |
He smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears" |
| [00:22.111] |
He would search that FM dial |
| [00:24.831] |
And I would count down every mile |
| [00:27.391] |
Til the station out of Tulsa came in clear |
| [00:32.570] |
It was Earl Thomas Conley on the radio |
| [00:37.920] |
It punched me in the gut, man, it rattled my soul |
| [00:44.670] |
I'm talking bout a good country song |
| [00:51.770] |
Makes you smile, makes you hurt |
| [00:54.500] |
Leaves you hanging on every word |
| [00:56.804] |
A good country song |
| [01:02.514] |
Makes you love, makes you leave |
| [01:04.854] |
Raise some hell or hit your knees |
| [01:07.635] |
All I know is I think of home |
| [01:10.040] |
Grab my guitar and strum along |
| [01:12.860] |
Kick on back and sip me something strong |
| [01:17.061] |
When I hear a good country song |
| [01:28.626] |
While hip-hop, rap, and rock were cool |
| [01:31.397] |
I was in my basement getting schooled |
| [01:34.241] |
On George and Keith and Vernon Alabama |
| [01:39.361] |
I was learning bout those neon lights |
| [01:42.382] |
Wasted days and wasted nights |
| [01:44.882] |
And honky-tonks from Texas to Montana |
| [01:49.721] |
And when my fingers found the fret board |
| [01:52.865] |
I close my eyes and sing |
| [01:55.166] |
I swear that beat up guitar only played one thing |
| [02:01.875] |
I'm talking bout a good country song |
| [02:09.255] |
Makes you smile, makes you hurt |
| [02:11.816] |
Leaves you hanging on every word |
| [02:14.156] |
A good country song |
| [02:19.997] |
Makes you love, makes you leave |
| [02:22.257] |
Raise some hell or hit your knees |
| [02:24.918] |
All I know is I think of home |
| [02:27.348] |
Grab my guitar and strum along |
| [02:30.368] |
Kick on back and sip me something strong |
| [02:34.268] |
When I hear a good country song |
| [02:51.238] |
Yeah, it makes me think of days long gone |
| [02:54.268] |
Miss my dad and call my mom |
| [02:56.919] |
Cry and laugh and pray and drink til dawn |
| [03:03.788] |
When I hear a good country |
| [03:10.058] |
A good old country, a good country song |
