So you wanna be a country singer
But have you really lived enough
Your shades are dark but your hand is shaking
So I think I gotta call your bluff
Have you walked through the driest desert?
Have you been to California?
Have you felt the great lakes blowing?
Well youngster, I better warn ya
There’s a lotta folks out here singing
And a lotta people out here lying
They’ll drill ya, ship ya overseas
That’s why they call it industry
But that’s no reason to be stopping now
Tell ‘em all that it’s gon be how
They could use another friend
Speak your piece then take a bow, uh huh
Country kids ain’t got no ride
City kids just play outside
Suburb kids wait for the summer to end
Kids like us just play pretend
Country kids ain’t got no ride
City kids just play outside
Suburb kids wait for the summer to end
Kids like us just play pretend
Kids like us just play pretend
I listened to this every day for months fumbling my way around the lyrics, singing as I biked around from place to place.. Thanks for the good times! One of my favs <3 piggy
