In a honky-tonk down in Nashville town (ooh), Shakespeare's sippin' whiskey, penning lines profound
A tale of love and loss, set in a pickup's bed, the Bard's got a way with words, spinning stories in his head

If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd weave a yarn 'bout love gone wrong (yeah)
With clever rhymes and witty quips, he'd make you laugh, he'd make you cry, oh my
If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd show the world where they belong
The Bard of Country, he'd wear the crown, in Nashville town, he'd turn it upside down

Juliet's in denim, Romeo's in boots (ahh), they're dancing to a tune, forbidden love's roots
Their story takes a twist, in this country serenade, Will's got a gift for making heartache feel homemade

If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd weave a yarn 'bout love gone wrong (yeah)
With clever rhymes and witty quips, he'd make you laugh, he'd make you cry, oh my
If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd show the world where they belong
The Bard of Country, he'd wear the crown, in Nashville town, he'd turn it upside down

From "to thine own self be true" to "I'm so lonesome I could cry" (ooh)
Will's got the chops to make a country hit, oh my, oh my
He'd trade his quill for a guitar pick, and strum his way into the heart of it

If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd weave a yarn 'bout love gone wrong (yeah)
With clever rhymes and witty quips, he'd make you laugh, he'd make you cry, oh my
If Shakespeare wrote a country song, he'd show the world where they belong
The Bard of Country, he'd wear the crown, in Nashville town, he'd turn it upside down​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
