I wanna put on some old Hank Williams and turn it up loud
Spend all night getting drunk in some honky-tonk crowd
I wanna see some worn-out boots on some old dance floor
No high-price slippers from some uptown store
Wanna hear that kinda song they're too scared to play anymore
That's right

I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country
I wanna hear a song again on the radio that tells a story
Just like George Strait, Conway, and all my heroes before me
I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country

Well, I can't steer clear of this talking to a drum machine
And I know there's somebody out there who feels like me
Yeah, I need a steel guitar to cry for eight bars that can damn near break your redneck heart
And I'm thinking right now's a damn fine place to start
Let's go

I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country
I wanna hear a song again on the radio that tells a story
Well, just like George Strait, Conway, and all my heroes before me
I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country, yeah

I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country, yeah baby
Yeah, I wanna hear a song again on the radio that tells a story
Oh, just like George Strait, Conway, and all my heroes before me
I wanna put a little C-O-U-N-T-R-Y back in country

C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
