country song to sing

i swear i remember bein' two years old

my daddy would rock me

singin' george jones

he kissed my cheek

off to sleep i'd go

'cause i had a country song to sing

thirty-five kids on a church camp bus

shoutin' elvira at the top of our lungs

i'll always remember that summer

because we had a country song to sing

a few years later i was fallin' in love

and i wanted to tell her but he words wouldn't come

so i got my guitar

gave it a strum

i had a country song to sing

so turn it in

turn it up

grab a microphone or an old hairbrush

and a honky tonker in the cab of your truck

and let it rain

no you can't go wrong with a country song to sing

i earned my first minimum wage paycheck

with a week's full of blister

sun-burning sweat

if it weren't for that radio i swear i'd have quit

but i had a country song to sing

i won't ever forget the night

cody and dave

got me half drunk

drug me on stage

i was nervous as hell but i did okay

i had a country song to sing

that mornin' we laid grandaddy in the ground

every heart heavy

every head bowed

in an unbroken circle

we all gathered round

how sweet the sound. we had a country song to sing

so turn it in

turn it up

grab a microphone or an old hairbrush

and a honky tonker in the cab of your truck

and let it rain

no you can't go wrong with a country song to sing

if you're hangin' with the friends you ain't seen in a while

or a pretty girl leaves you with a smile

you got a country song to sing

if you're feelin' proud of where you from

or you're lost in the crowd and missin' someone

you got a country song to sing

yeah we all got a country song to sing
