country music makes me sick
(Verse 1)
Well, I used to love that old country twang,
But now it’s nothing but a worn-out, tired thang.
The songs I hear, they all sound the same,
Talking ’bout trucks, beer, and a heart in pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
It used to be about the stories we’d tell,
Life’s struggles and the love we’d quell.
But now it’s just clichés and cheap thrills,
Makes me sick to my stomach, it gives me chills.
(Chorus)
This makes me sick, this country song,
All about the same things, goin’ on and on.
I miss the days of real heartache and pain,
When country music had something to gain.
(Verse 2)
They’ve lost the soul, the heart, and the truth,
Traded it in for a slick, shiny tooth.
It’s all about money, fame, and the lights,
Not about the music and those lonely nights.
(Pre-Chorus)
It used to be about the stories we’d tell,
Life’s struggles and the love we’d quell.
But now it’s just clichés and cheap thrills,
Makes me sick to my stomach, it gives me chills.
(Chorus)
This makes me sick, this country song,
All about the same things, goin’ on and on.
I miss the days of real heartache and pain,
When country music had something to gain.
(Bridge)
I long for the days of Johnny and Cash,
When country music had a real, honest dash.
Now it’s all about parties and shiny trucks,
Makes me sick, it’s all run amok.
(Verse 3)
I miss the twang of a steel guitar,
Not this pop-country, it’s gone too far.
Give me the old, the raw, the true,
Not this manufactured, cookie-cutter goo.
(Pre-Chorus)
It used to be about the stories we’d tell,
Life’s struggles and the love we’d quell.
But now it’s just clichés and cheap thrills,
Makes me sick to my stomach, it gives me chills.
(Chorus)
This makes me sick, this country song,
All about the same things, goin’ on and on.
I miss the days of real heartache and pain,
When country music had something to gain.
(Outro)
So I’ll turn off the radio, find something real,
A classic tune, an old record to feel.
Because this modern country, it’s gone astray,
And it makes me sick, I’ll just walk away.
