Lyrics

[Verse 1]
1, 2, 3
[Verse 2]
Well, you're not supposed to say the word cancer in a song
And tellin' folks that Jesus is the answer can rub 'em wrong
It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns, or Mama
Yeah, that might be true, but this is country music, and we do
[Verse 3]
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?
And 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Are you haunted by the echo of your mother on the phone
Cryin', as she tells you that your brother is not comin' home?
Well, if there's anyone that still has pride in the memory of those
That died defending the old red, white, and blue
Well, this is country music and we do
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
This is country music
He Stopped Loving Her Today
This is country music
Hello Darlin'
This is country music
God Bless the USA
This is country music
Amarillo by 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
A Country Boy Can Survive
This is country music
