Country - Upchurch

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. 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. 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... Country certainly isn't country anymore... Thanks to Kerry. VOTE Bush!

I tell her flirtin' with disaster is all that I know I'll be back when the sun sinks down in the hills Trench coat pulled tight, six gun on my hip Lit Marlboro Red hangin' out of my lips Call me the Lonesome Dove, I disappear in the mist Of the Clydesdale hooves click-clack to a swamp song By the time I told her, you know I'll already be gone (gone) Take me to the wild wild west I'll wear my finest dress to your midnight rodeo Take me on your fastest ride Like Bonnie and Clyde down the darkest back road I'll keep on holdin' tight to you until we see the mornin' Up and down, round and round, eight seconds ain't enough And I can't help it but, I'm in love with a cowboy The wild west is a land for a gamblin' man But no pretty lady holds two rough hands 'Cause these hands got a quick draw for these stars Hit the bullseye point-blank, one shot from afar These boots been through the cave and hot mud I leave the heartbreak to the dive of the FL When I turn on that road, put on the fancy dress And slip them high heels on, put that sequin to rest, uh I'll take you to the wild wild west Where they gun sling the best and the whiskey's like gasoline Make me runaway with you in a smoky saloon And make up for the nights that I was missin' you Take me to the wild wild west I'll wear my finest dress to your midnight rodeo Take me on your fastest ride Like Bonnie and Clyde down the darkest back road I'll keep on holdin' tight to you until we see the mornin' Up and down, round and round, eight seconds ain't enough And I can't help it but, I'm in love with a cowboy I'm in love, I'm in love with a cowboy
