Damn Country Music

I packed it all on a whim

Threw an old Hank cassette tape in

Dad's 84 rusty Ford

He swore we'd never make it

I quit my job, let my momma down

Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town

Pulled my roots from the ground

For the hum of wheels on the blacktop

The strum of strings on a flat top

It's a neon fever

For a small town dreamer

Tells you everything you have is worth losing

Damn country music

You might get lost in the lights

The things that keep you up all night

Whiskey straight at 3 AM

Chasing songs in your head

It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows

It's needing yes, and hearing no

Just another soul sold

Believe me, I know

It's the hum of wheels on a blacktop

The strum of strings on a flat top

It'll take you, break you

Damn sure, make you

Do things, you never thought you'd be doing

Damn country music

When the money, the fame,

The lights on your name

All fade away

Well you'll still be a slave to...

The hum of wheels on a blacktop

The strum of strings on a flat top

It's a neon fever

For a small town dreamer

Tells you everything you have is worth losing

Damn country music
