Country Cause It Sells
They got fancy cars
Big light bars
Billboards lighting up their leading stars
But who wrote the songs to ever get em that far?
From what I hear some guy they know
Or then maybe again some guy they don't
As long as it sells they're good as gold
Ain't the country I know
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads
Beer drinking Skynyrd nights
Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country just for myself
They say the city lights
And neon signs
Will help you write a song that'll change your life
But they don't ever tell the reason why
They wanna change your clothes and change your smile
Change everything that makes who you are
That ain't the deal that I bargained for so let me tell you once more
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads
Beer drinking Skynyrd nights
Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country
Country as hell
Hard to understand in a city life
But once you see them country skies
You'll change your mind
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads
Beer drinking Skynyrd nights
Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country
I'm country
Just for myself
Aw cant you tell
You're country cause it sells
I'm country just for myself
Big light bars
Billboards lighting up their leading stars
But who wrote the songs to ever get em that far?
From what I hear some guy they know
Or then maybe again some guy they don't
As long as it sells they're good as gold
Ain't the country I know
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads
Beer drinking Skynyrd nights
Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country just for myself
They say the city lights
And neon signs
Will help you write a song that'll change your life
But they don't ever tell the reason why
They wanna change your clothes and change your smile
Change everything that makes who you are
That ain't the deal that I bargained for so let me tell you once more
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads
Beer drinking Skynyrd nights
Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country
Country as hell
Hard to understand in a city life
But once you see them country skies
You'll change your mind
Well it don't come from city now
It comes from the backroads

Singing with our eyes closed
On a dirt road
Riding in the moonlight
Daisy dukes riding shotgun
For a good time
Don't need all the fancy things
Maybe a few beers to drink
Your country cuz it sells
I'm country
I'm country
Just for myself
Aw cant you tell
You're country cause it sells
I'm country just for myself
