Play by the Rules Lyrics

We don't do humming, we don't do talking

Snapping or clapping hands

You can bet your boots

No one's whistling in our little old country band

Play by the rules

We play by the rules

We're a broke uppity recroom band of fools

Play by the rules

Paying our dues

If we got to cheat to win, we're gonna lose

We don't do singles, we don't do covers

Greatest hits or EPs

We're not dropping names like Austin, Texas

Or Nashville, Tennessee

Play by the rules

We play by the rules

We're a broke uppity recroom band of fools

Play by the rules

Paying our dues

If we got to cheat to win, we're gonna lose

No singing in falsetto

No fading out tunes

You bet the ranch there ain't a chance

We come to your town soon

Play by the rules

We play by the rules

We're a broke uppity recroom band of fools

Play by the rules

Paying our dues

Having too much fun to win

Tapping our two-bit shoes

Having too much fun to win

Tapping our two-bit shoes
