Country Nowadays

[Verse 1]

I just wanna catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer

And not wake up to all this stuff I don't want to hear

Like the same kind of gun I hunt with, just killed another man

When the only thing mine ever shot was a deer from my deer stand

I just want to grow my corn, feed my dogs, wear my boots

Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evenin' news

And be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls

I'll be up the creek in hot water in this "cancel your ass" world

[Chorus]

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames

Sayin' I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was small town, Jеsus raised

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

[Verse 2]

I just wanna cut my grass, watch my gamе, say my prayers

Not get a picture of a flag up in flames as people cheer

Yeah, the same one my grandaddy fought for being stepped on like it's trash

And I'm a downright hateful monster if I back the blue and badge

[Chorus]

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames

Sayin' I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was red letter, Jesus raised

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

[Bridge]

All I do is mind my business, live my life the best I can

Try to be a real good husband, a real good daddy, a real good man

But because I have my morals and a small town point of view

You assume that you don't like me means that I don't like you, too

[Chorus]

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames

Sayin' I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was gospel, Jesus raised

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

[Outro]

Mm, in this country nowadays
