This Ain'T a Goddam Country Song

This Ain't a Goddamn Country Song You know I love my Rock and Roll I wouldn't write a Country Song 'Cause that's not how I roll This song it ain't bout country things Like pickup trucks and cars You'll never find me writing About getting drunk in bars There's no mention here of Taylor Swift or The Charlie Daniels Band I wouldn't write of how the banks are taking our farmland This Ain't a Goddamn Country Song You know I love my Rock and Roll I wouldn't write a Country Song 'Cause that's not how I roll I don't know **** 'bout Redneck stuff like hunting dogs and guns I wouldn't write of Daisy Dukes showing off some hot babes buns I won't write 'bout the Opry I don't know all that stuff Of Minnie Pearl and Grandpa Jones And Mr. Roy Acuff This Ain't a Goddamn Country Song You know I love my Rock and Roll I wouldn't write a Country Song 'Cause that's not how I roll There's nothing here 'bout Bourbon or of Racing through the fields I don't know much about farming or crop futures or of yields I listen to The Rolling Stones Trace Adkins I don't like Lady A can go away Kid Rock can ride his bike You won't hear much about Zac Browns Band or of food thats Chicken Fried I might go to a hoedown If I'd just up and died My music, it fulfills me It makes me who I am But I'll stay away from country songs, Cause I don't give a damn No Oak Ridge Boys or Hee Haw Here Hank Williams I won't buy I'll never buy a Dixie Beer It's a drink I'll never try I won't sing about Kentucky or of a Texas Yellow Rose you know this aint no country song Good god I hope it shows There's no mohter, dogs or applie pie no fishin' in the dark No Everything is Beautiful No songs by Terry Clark I'm really open minded My friends they are the same We won't buy country music To us it's just so lame This Ain't a Goddamn Country Song You know I love my Rock and Roll I wouldn't write a Country Song 'Cause that's not how I roll I won't mention stuff you'll find in songs by Nashville bands There's nothing here about watching football in the stands I'll never write a country song Cause country just ain't fun Oh crap I just read this thing And I think I just wrote one This Ain't a Goddamn Country Song You know I love my Rock and Roll I wouldn't write a Country Song 'Cause that's not how I roll

Hi Roger, I don't live in the South but my family was raised in the south. And with that being said I LOVE country music. Sorry to bust your bubble but this is a country song. In all seriousness I enjoyed the word play and content. This is my kind of "song".I was thoroughly entertained. Great job:-) Alexis
