That Ain’t Country

That Ain't Country - Aaron Lewis

Written by：Aaron Lewis

What a sad state of affairs I'm in

'Cause I'm tryin' to compete where I just don't fit in

The country if you'd call it that from off the row

It ain't country trust me 'cause I'm old enough to know that

That ain't country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tales of good times and happy endings

My life ain't like that

So I'll be listenin' to the old songs

That my granddad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation

And the ones that got away

The songs that speak to me

The way I feel today

So tell me whatever happened to the country songs

Full of truth and consequences or the things gone wrong

Someone came and changed it up made it all a lie

Like this and that 'cause

That ain't country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tales of good times and happy endings

My life ain't like that

So I'll be listenin' to the old songs

That my granddad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation

And the ones that got away

The songs that speak to me

The way I feel today

We got Waylon singin' songs 'bout a ramblin' man

And Junior's got a cold one in his hand

And the Parson's gettin' drunk again imagine that

With Charlie Daniels playin' fiddle underneath that hat

John and Junior goin' back and forth again

And David Allen Coe is singin' 'bout his kin

Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul

Willie's singing the songs about the hearts he's stole 'cause

That sh*t's country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tales of hard times and complications

Ain't life like that

So I'll be listenin' to the old songs

That my granddad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation

And the ones that got away

The songs that speak to me

The way I feel today

The songs that speak to me

The way I feel today
