Текст песни: That Ain’t Country + перевод

What a sad state of affairs I’m in

'Cause I’m tryin' to compete where I just don’t fit in

'Cause the country, if you call it that, from off the Row

Ain’t country just because I’m old enough to know, that

That ain’t country, that’s a natural fact

It’s full of tales of good times and happy endings, my life ain’t like that

So I’ll keep listenin' to the old songs that my grandad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs

Full of truth and consequences, all the things gone wrong

Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie

I’d like to spit a little Beech-Nut right in that dude’s eye, 'Cause

That ain’t country, that’s a natural fact

It’s full of tales of good times and happy endings, my life ain’t like that

So I’ll keep listenin' to the old songs that my granddad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

(Now listen here)

We got Waylon singin' songs 'bout a Ramblin' Man

And Junior’s got a cold one in his hand

And the Possum’s gettin' drunk again, imagine that

And Charlie Daniels playin' fiddle underneath that hat

And John and June are goin' back and forth again

And David Allan Coe is singin' 'bout his kin

And Haggard sings the songs that’ll save your soul

And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole, 'Cause

That shit’s country, that’s a natural fact

It’s full of tales of hard times and complications, ain’t life like that?

So I’ll keep listenin' to the old songs that my grandad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today
