What the Buck happened to country music?
Just when the whole wide world was starting to get into it
Someone came along and put a hip hop groove right through it
So tell me what the Buck happened to country music?


Well my daddy was raised in the good old days when you could turn on the radio
Hear a steel guitar Your Cheatin Heart and a whole lot of Haggard and Jones
And without fail they'd play Tiger By The Tail
at least three times a day
Now if Buck was here I'm pretty darn sure what he'd have to say

Well its been a long time since Buck and Dwight walked the streets of Bakersfield
And now a days the songs they play don't have that same old feel
They put a thousand words into one little verse and make sure that they all rhyme
And even Blake sounds like Timberlake if you ask me that's a crime.
