Country Music Is Just Good Ole American Soul
Country Music is just good ole American soul
from the rhythm of the guitars
to the screaming strings of the fiddle and the beat of the drums
to the words that are written and sung
by the men and women who have lived the life
singing about life, love, divorce, guns, and God above
words that have meaning, emotion and devotion that tell a story
about the American way of life and glory
that you identify with because it’s real
letting you know how we all feel
it’s your life’s story as well that you identify with
songs that bring the tears, sadness, joys and smiles from ear to ear
as you tap your toes, snap your fingers, and slap your knee
and dance the two step until quarter to three
songs that set you free or bringing back an ole memory
country music is all about the loving, the good, the bad and the ugly
were all proud to be Americans because it is our life were singing about
country music is the salt of the earth, mixed in with 100 other spices
country music is good for the heart, the mind the soul it has its roots
from the beginning of American history
even George Washington was overheard singing country songs
country music helps the whiskey the moonshine, and beer to go
down a whole lot smoother
country music is in the air where the blue grass grows, the lazy river flows
to where the yellow flowers on the mountain grows
God bless the men and women who sing and write the country music songs
it’s just good ole American soul music
