Written by Oliver Cobbin

lyrics

I don't want to hear no songs
About your baby's pickup truck
I don't believe in your southern charm
I don't want to know the names
Of all the chickens that you plucked
I don't care for your daddy's farm

Oh, but I, want my heart broken in two
So I tried to write a country song
But this will have to do

I don't want any songs
About the "good ol' USA"
I can't relate to your nasal twang
l won't always get behind
All the words you say
I guess I'll never understand

Oh, but I, want 3 chords that are true
So I tried to write a better song
For now, this will do

Oh, and I, want a different point of view
So I'll try to write a country song
And this will have to do

I don't wanna spoil the fun
With tired old melodies
I'll never be a well-travelled man
But if you truly believe
In your dreams of Tennessee
I will try and do the best that I can

Oh, and I, want to get on board with you
So I tried to write a country song
And this will have to do
