Country Ain't Country

He was raised on a tractor

In overalls and boots

Been to college and then law school

Since leaving his roots

Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford

Country ain't country no more

He told his daddy

"Catch up with the times"

He said, "Now a days

People trade heifers online"

Dad ain't sealing deals

With a handshake like before

Country ain't country no more

No, country ain't country no more

The back forty was sold to make up for hard times

Then sold by the half acre lot overnight

The houses went up and the trees were cut down

And there went the finest deer hunting around

Lord, everyone's locking their doors

'Cause country ain't country no more

Now his dad sits in traffic

Looking 'round at the change

Watching crews turn

The county road into four lanes

The old Sunday drive

Has turned into a chore

Country ain't country no more

Lord, country ain't country no more

Yeah, the back forty was sold to make up for hard times

Then sold by the half acre lot overnight

The houses went up and the trees were cut down

And there went the finest deer hunting around

Lord, everyone's locking their doors

Lord, country ain't country no more

There's no turning back and you just can't ignore

That country ain't country no more

No, country ain't country no more
