I like singing Merle, I love my Johnny Cash
Son if that ain't country, you can kiss my
Well I've got a lot of heroes that have helped me sing this way
There ain't nothing like a little George Jones
To help you through a cloudy day
I like shooting whiskey, picking a honky-tonk bar
Singing all their songs from the bottom of my heart
Well I may never hit the big-time or pay my bills with this old guitar
It's a long road to travel if you wanna be a country star
I've had this dream since I was young about standing on that Opry stage
Filling all of those stadiums, hearing that record man say my name
Well I've had this fire down deep inside ever since I first heard that twang
As long as I'm breathing air and there's a crowd out there
I'm doing my country thing
Give me that steel guitar, don't hold nothing back
I'm shooting straight from the heart, there's no arguing with that
You may not hear it on your radio but I'm gonna play it loud
Cause to me that's what country music's all about
I've had this dream since I was young about standing on that Opry stage
Filling all of those stadiums, hearing that record man say my name
Well I've had this fire down deep inside ever since I first heard that twang
As long as I'm breathing air and there's a crowd out there
I'm doing my country thing
I've had this fire down deep inside ever since I first heard that twang
So as long as I'm breathing air and there's a crowd out there
I'm doing my country thing
