[00:11.430]Shotgun in my daddy's truck
[00:14.180]Eight years old and acting tough
[00:16.720]He smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears"
[00:22.111]He would search that FM dial
[00:24.831]And I would count down every mile
[00:27.391]Til the station out of Tulsa came in clear
[00:32.570]It was Earl Thomas Conley on the radio
[00:37.920]It punched me in the gut, man, it rattled my soul
[00:44.670]I'm talking bout a good country song
[00:51.770]Makes you smile, makes you hurt
[00:54.500]Leaves you hanging on every word
[00:56.804]A good country song
[01:02.514]Makes you love, makes you leave
[01:04.854]Raise some hell or hit your knees
[01:07.635]All I know is I think of home
[01:10.040]Grab my guitar and strum along
[01:12.860]Kick on back and sip me something strong
[01:17.061]When I hear a good country song
[01:28.626]While hip-hop, rap, and rock were cool
[01:31.397]I was in my basement getting schooled
[01:34.241]On George and Keith and Vernon Alabama
[01:39.361]I was learning bout those neon lights
[01:42.382]Wasted days and wasted nights
[01:44.882]And honky-tonks from Texas to Montana
[01:49.721]And when my fingers found the fret board
[01:52.865]I close my eyes and sing
[01:55.166]I swear that beat up guitar only played one thing
[02:01.875]I'm talking bout a good country song
[02:09.255]Makes you smile, makes you hurt
[02:11.816]Leaves you hanging on every word
[02:14.156]A good country song
[02:19.997]Makes you love, makes you leave
[02:22.257]Raise some hell or hit your knees
[02:24.918]All I know is I think of home
[02:27.348]Grab my guitar and strum along
[02:30.368]Kick on back and sip me something strong
[02:34.268]When I hear a good country song
[02:51.238]Yeah, it makes me think of days long gone
[02:54.268]Miss my dad and call my mom
[02:56.919]Cry and laugh and pray and drink til dawn
[03:03.788]When I hear a good country
[03:10.058]A good old country, a good country song
