Running This Country
Yeah
Whoo
If I was runnin' this country
I'd build a big ol' bar
With a stage for a singer and a fiddle and a steel guitar
If I was ruling this roost
I'd use an iron fist
You wouldn't hear one lick of that tailgate, drum-loop shit
It'd be nothing but Cash
Haggard, Waylon and Willie
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
If I was runnin' this country
I'd go back in time
Between 1953 and '79
There'd be a Man in Black
An Okie from Muskogee
And Hank Williams in back of a big ol' Cadillac
A Buck Owens and a Lefty
A Bob Wills and a Patsy
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
They'd never vote me in
But buddy, if they did
I'd be the first ever rhinestone suit-wearin' president
And I could play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
Wooh-hoo
If I was runnin' this country
I'd change a thing or two
I'd start that national anthem with a little bit of working man blues
There'd only be one law
You'd have to be an outlaw
I'd make my Oval Office outta any ol' hole in wall
No tax on beer
Free government whiskey
We'd need a jukebox junkie
To start runnin' this country
They'd never vote me in
But buddy, if they did
I'd be the first ever rhinestone suit-wearin' president
And I can play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
If I was runnin' this country
Whoo
If I was runnin' this country
I'd build a big ol' bar
With a stage for a singer and a fiddle and a steel guitar
If I was ruling this roost
I'd use an iron fist
You wouldn't hear one lick of that tailgate, drum-loop shit
It'd be nothing but Cash
Haggard, Waylon and Willie
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
If I was runnin' this country
I'd go back in time
Between 1953 and '79
There'd be a Man in Black

And Hank Williams in back of a big ol' Cadillac
A Buck Owens and a Lefty
A Bob Wills and a Patsy
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country

Call it the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
We'd be the honky-tonk party
If I was runnin' this country
If I was runnin' this country
