Well I heard someone
Out poking fun
At this old country boy
And the songs that he sung

Still cracking jokes
He sarcastically implied
Let me guess
"Your girl's gone and your dog just died"

And I said, hey

[Chorus: ]
That's what I like about a country song
Where somebody done somebody wrong
And not just something that is understood
By those high rollers out in Hollywood
'Cause it's about
Real folks living real life
With real problems
Like an old ex-wife
If you agree
With the boys and me
Then sing along
"That's what I like about a country song"

Some like to rock
Some like to roll
Some like it fast
And some like slow

If you living right
Or right down the middle
Everybody stops to listen
When that bow hits the fiddle

It's music for the rich or poor
Hot mamas driving to the grocery store
All the farmers, the doctors
The truckers and the teachers, young punks, old drunks
Even Church of Christ preachers, Praise the Lord!

[Chorus: ]
