Lyrics
A COUNTRY SONG © Alan Lawrence Turton 2022
The man from the West Coast bought me a beer
He said 'Where I'm from, men ain't like the men round here'
'You live a life of drink and dance in a hell-raising way'
Then we both started singing when the band began to play A Country Song
A Country Song knows your heartache
It knows you like a beer
It knows you're a working man with broken love affairs
A Country Song knows bar where your troubles melt away
So find a girl, take a chance
Have a drink, have a dance
You can't go wrong with A Country Song
Saw a guy with a guitar
Busking in the rain
Had the look of a cowboy
A voice like John Wayne
He sang about a Honky Tonk
His heartache and pain
But the Country Song he sang
Gave me goosebumps just the same
A Country Song knows your heartache
It knows you like a beer
It knows you're a working man with broken love affairs
A Country Song knows bar where your troubles melt away
So find a girl, take a chance
Have a drink, have a dance
You can't go wrong with A Country Song
Life ain't never perfect
There's sorrow and regret
So make the most of what you've got
Make sure you don't forget
A Country Song knows your heartache
It knows you like a beer
It knows you're a working man with broken love affairs
A Country Song knows bar where your troubles melt away
So find a girl, take a chance
Have a drink, have a dance
You can't go wrong with A Country Song
