Straight out of Nashville, here’s your next big star

He don’t write the songs he sings, but he knows the words by heart.
G Cadd9
Wears a cowboy hat, and some tight blue jeans,
G Cadd9
And he struts around the stage like he’s the coolest thing you’ve ever seen.
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
Oh you gotta love him!
G Cadd9 G Cdad9 Am
He looks like a super model, knows how to strike a pose
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
And he don’t mind the make up as long as no one knows.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Am
And he’s got that crooked grin, and talks with a southern drawl,
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
Acts like Toby Keith but sounds a lot like Tim McGraw
D Cadd9 G
But if he’s country ill kiss your ass,
D Cadd9 G
And throw all my Willie Nelson records in the trash.
D Cadd9 G D/F# Em
He’s the same old shit in a slightly different bag,
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
But if he’s country, well then country’s pretty bad.
G Cadd9
I don’t watch CMT
G Cadd9 Am
No that shit makes me sick.
G Cadd9
And that ole Kenny Chesney,
Em Cadd9
What a hypocrite.
G Cadd9
Hell swear he’s country
G Cadd9 Am
But he lives in the Caribbean.
G Cadd9
Sings all about the islands now,
Em Cadd9
What happened to the Tennessean?
D Cadd9 G
Aw if he’s country ill kiss your ass
D Cadd9 G
Throw all my Johnny cash records in the trash
D Cadd9 G D/F# Em
He’s all about image cause image pays the bucks,
D Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Aw but if he’s country, well then country really sucks.
D G
What happened to the outlaws?
Cadd9 D G

G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Am
I was raised in Georgia, in a one red light town.
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
And my daddy picked guitar in every honky tonk around
G Cadd9
And he taught me all the good stuff,
G Cadd9 Am G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
That solid country gold, but now I love it all from hip-hop to rock and roll
D Cadd9 G
And if that ain’t country, well I don’t give a damn
D Cadd9 G
My daddy to be my own kinda man
D Cadd9 G D/F# Em
