You're not supposed to say the word 'cancer' in a song.
And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer can rub 'em wrong.
It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns, and mama, yeah that might be true.
But this is country music and we do

Do you like to drink a cold one on the weekend and get a little loud
Do you wanna say I'm sorry or I love you but you don't know how?
Do you wish somebody had the nerve to tell that stupid boss of yours
To shove it next time he yells at you?
Well this is country music and we do

So turn it on, turn it up, and sing along
This is real; this is your life in a song
Yeah this is country music.

Are you haunted by the echo of your mother on the phone
Crying as she tells you that your brother is not coming home?
And if there's anyone that still has pride and the memory of those
That died defending the old red, white, and blue,
This is country music and we do

So turn it on, turn it up, and sing along
This is real; this is your life in a song
Just like a road that takes you home
Yeah this is right where you belong
This is country music
This is country music

He Stopped Loving Her Today
(This is country music)
Hello Darling
(This is country music)
God Bless the USA
(This is country music)
Amarillo by the Morning
(This is country music)
Stand by your Man
(This is country music)
Mama Tried
(This is country music)
Take Me Home
(This is country music)
I Walk the Line
(This is country music)
Country Boy Can Survive
(This is country music)
