I’m not sure what happened to country music
The new “hot” songs just leave me feeling ick
Singing about booze and bars – whiskey and beer
Leaves me wondering where the old artists are
The new ones try to serenade something pretty
But it’s pain to my ears
Cheap love and convenience
Desperate tunes
Rap-pop-hip-hop-twang
Can you believe it?
I haven’t even seen the music videos
I don’t want to know – how bad it is
Uuuuhh!
Girls in water
Break ups and bottles
No tractors these days, nah, just pick up trucks
Yuck!
Where are the old good tunes?
About slow, patient love that’s everlasting
And those melancholy lyrics that ponder time passing
Of marriage and friendship
I miss it!
All my old country favorites – my friends in low places
Thankfully it’s easy to go back and visit them
Just not on the radio
I’ve got to ask Alexa – she knows
And when old Alan Jackson or Tim McGraw or George Strait come on
Me and my husband who fell in love to those tunes – gladly sing along
