A Good Country Song
I always wanted, to have lots of money and fame
To write Country music, have big stars remember my name;
I never made Nashville, and I should have known all along
I've been too good, to write a good Country song.
I ain't drunk enough whiskey,
to write a good Country song.
Nor chased enough women, or done hardly anything wrong.
I've never been wicked, and I wouldn’t know how to get stoned.
I've been too good, to write a good Country song.
Trains make me nervous, and trucks are expensive to buy
I still live with Mother, so I’ve had no heartaches to cry.
I've never been lonely, ’cause I never started to roam
I've been too good, to write a good Country song.©
While participating in a songwriters critique group for Country music
I was criticized by the younger members of the clique for being
too old
and having lived a too sheltered life to write Country music.
So
I wrote this song in response.
