Lyrics

A COUNTRY SONG
I wanna sing me a country song
But I don’t wear a cowboy hat
I don’t wear no cowboy boots
And I don’t live out on the flat
I wasn’t born and raised on country
No I aint paid my country dues
But I sure do have them big ol’ country blues

It’s a one for the money there’ll be hell to pay
He done left me in the family way
I got three at the table with a carving knife
I’m in a whole lotta trouble with the farmer’s wife

I said I wanna sing me a country song
Yeah I wanna be a shinin’ star
I want my name all up in lights
And drive me a big old fancy car
I wanna sing to you on the radio
I wanna be in all your news
Cos I sure do have them big ol’ country blues

Well it’s two for the money on a winter’s day
It’s cold as hell so I’m on my way
I need a fire in my heart or some warm night air
If you can’t find a lover burn a wooden chair

I said I wanna sing me a country song
I got to find me a cowboy man
Swingin’ on a big ol’ steel guitar
Playing in a kick ass country band
I’m gonna stay with him till the mornin’ time
Until he breaks my heart in two
Cos I got to get me some of them big ol’ country blues

Well ya picked a fine time for movin’ on
I’ll write you into my country song
It’s a shame that it’s over but I’ve had my fun
C’mon little doggy won’t you go get gone

I said I wanna sing me a country song
And there aint nothin’ wrong with that
Just a little two step doe-se-doe
With a little foot stompin’ cowdy tap
So when I got a whole in my heart
And I’m down and out and there aint nothin’ left to lose
I’ll just write me some of them big ol’ country blues

Well it’s three in the morning and I’m in too deep
I got bills to pay I got vows to keep
I’m gonna cry in my coffee till my heart runs dry
I’m gonna write a song’ll bring a tear to your eye

I wanna sing me a country song
But I don’t wear a cowboy hat
I don’t wear no cowboy boots
And I don’t live out on the flat
I wasn’t born and raised on country
No I aint paid my country dues
But I sure do have them big ol’ country blues
Now I done sung me a country song
With a whole lotta country twang
Just a little bit of Texas swing
A little itty-bitty bit of everythang
So with a whole lotta lovin’ and a whole lotta shame
There aint nothin’ else to do
But just sing about them big ol’ country blues
I said I sure do have them big ol’ country blues
I said I got to get me some of them big ol’ country blues
