Country Lyrics by Senora May

Lainhart

2018

Cedar, rough cut trim by hand, and splinters in your game
Courtin’ ain't what it used to be but we all know the dream
You’re walking tall with your flintlock jaw and spitting’ out your flame
Blaming everybody else for the country on your face
Chorus:
You can tell us all you do is try
Emphasize your accent, put a little twinkle in your eye
But you’re not proud and you don’t see what’s great
I think you ought to
If you want country on your plate
Fadin’ fast smoking, tearing all the pieces down
Scratching at the paint, quilt patchwork, treetop to ground
And you can’t keep anything that’s nice if you don’t hold it close at night
Show it love, love, tenderly
Chorus:
You can tell us all you do is try
Emphasize your accent, put a little twinkle in your eyes
You’re not proud and you don’t see what’s great
I think you ought to
If you want country on your plate
Big coal boom bust ringing in your ears and late at night
Ya lie awake thinking of what you thought you were doing right
Now the mountain streams are bleeding
Your Kentucky home’s been raided
Tall white oaks were gone before you knew you’d miss them too
Chorus:
You can tell us all you do is try
Emphasize your accent, put a little twinkle in your eye
But you’re not proud and you don’t fight at all
I think you ought to
If you want country past your wall
You can kiss goodbye Catalpa
Earth and mealworms too
Regulations point to us needing them no more
You can beg God for forgiveness
You can weep on every pew
Still there’d be some greed livin’ deep inside of you
Chorus:
You can tell us all you do is try
Emphasize your accent, put a little twinkle in your eye
You’re not proud and you don’t see what’s great
I think you ought to
If you want country on your plate
I think you ought to
