Country When It Rocks

I like country when it rocks

I like country when it's real

When it's sung for the school of the hardest knocks

And not for mass appeal

I like country when it's loud

And ringing out for blocks

I like country when it's real

I like country when it rocks

Play a little Johnny Cash for me

Make me feel it down home

When ol' Waylon's on the backbeat, honey

He sounds better than the Stones

Somebody help me make it through the night

I'm seeing double through the neon light

They play it loud and play it right, all night, I

don't wanna go home

I like country when it rocks

I like country when it's real

When it's sung for the school of the hardest knocks

And not for mass appeal

I like country when it's loud

And ringing out the for blocks

I like country when it's real

I like country when it rocks

A little something with a twang to it

Like they used to do

The kind of song that kept you glued to it

Because you knew that it was true

I like the sound of a steel guitar

I like the feel of a roadside bar

I'm sick of looking at these country stars

I would card if I was selling them brew

I like country when it rocks

I like country when it's real

When it's sung for the school of the hardest knocks

And not for mass appeal

I like country when it's loud

And ringing out the for blocks

I like country when it's real

I like country when it rocks
