a country song

[Verse 1]

When I need to put my feet back on the ground

I go back to my hometown

When I need a night to act my age

Me and my friends stay out too late

And when I need to feel good in my skin

I drop everything and run to him

When nothin' makes sense, but I need to talk

That's when I call my mom

[Chorus]

But I wanna write a country song

When nothin's gentle on my mind

And I'm needin' somethin' strong

And I'm almost out of wine

When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some

Whether it's right or wrong

I stay up all night, done it my whole life

Sometimes, you've gotta write a country song

[Verse 2]

Got me through the drama with my ex

The first time that I had sex

The day the word "divorce" got really real

My first year in Nashville

Maybe it's 'cause of my raisin' or what my parents were playin'

Or when I feel my heart breakin', no hesitation

[Chorus]

I go and write a country song

When nothin's gentle on my mind

And I'm needin' somethin' strong

And I'm almost out of wine

When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some

Whether it's right or wrong

I stay up all night, done it my whole life

Sometimes, you've gotta write a country song

[Bridge]

'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck

Real life, that's the stuff, yeah

First kiss, last car, bad breakin' ups

My life, that's what

[Chorus]

Makes me write a country song

When nothin's gentle on my mind

And I'm needin' somethin' strong

And now I'm out of wine

When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some

Whether it's right or wrong

Gets me every time, story of my life

There ain't nothin' like a country song

[Outro]

('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)

Yeah (Real life, that's the stuff, yeah)

A country song (First kiss, last car, bad breakin' ups)

(My life, that's what) Hey
