Ain't That Country - The Cadillac Three

It lasts a little too long, stays out too late

Smokes them reds, drinks too much, bottom shelf whiskey

Huntin', cussin', spittin', burnin' that candle at both ends

But ain’t that country

He fishes a little more, then he reads that King James

He searches for God out on the water, just like his dad did

Livin', prayin', sinnin', boots in the mud, washed in the blood

But ain’t that country

There’s always a little more much

At the end of the money

But he keeps on runnin', yeah

Buddy, that’s country

And his heart ain’t gold, but he loves his woman

Through wind and rain and dust

Oh, that’s country

Oh, it ain’t always pretty

Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty

Yeah, but ain’t that country

He’s done some wrong, he’s done some right

Won and lost some fights

Highs and lows, that’s the way it goes

It ain’t always sweet tea

Lovin', runnin', son of a gun, like an old outlaw

But ain’t that country

His rusted-out old four-wheel drive

Burnin' up hills, still got vibe

That’s country

But he’s red and white and collared blue

American, he’s me, he’s you

That’s country

Oh, got nothin' 'gainst the city

Just likes his rolls, dirt and gritty

Yeah, ain’t that country

Ain’t that country

There’s always a little more much

At the end of the money

But he keeps on runnin', yeah

Buddy, that’s country

And his heart ain’t gold, but he loves his woman

Through wind and rain and dust

Oh, that’s country

Oh, it ain’t always pretty

Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty

Yeah, but ain’t that country

Now I laugh a little too loud

And stay out too late
