a country song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late
And when I need to feel good in my skin
I drop everything and run to him
When nothin' makes sense, but I need to talk
That's when I call my mom
But I wanna write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write a country song
Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word divorce got really real
My first year in nashville
Maybe it's 'cause of my raisin' or what my parents were playin'
Or when I feel my heart breakin', no hesitation
I go and write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write a country song
'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck
Real life, that's the stuff, yeah
First kiss, last car, bad breakin' ups
My life, that's what
Makes me write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And now I'm out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it's right or wrong
Gets me every time, story of my life
There ain't nothin' like a country song
('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)
Yeah (real life, that's the stuff, yeah)
A country song (first kiss, last car, bad breakin' ups)
(My life, that's what) hey
