My Mom Told Me To Write A Country Song, So This Is What She Gets Lyrics

My mom told me to write a country song

Something catchy to sing along

Told her that just ain't my stuff

But i'll do it now just for some love

I'm more of a punk rock guy myself

But you know I guess i'll try something else

Well this ain't pop, and this ain't rock

Don't know what to write but let's give it a shot

Let's go down by the river and do a jig

Or whatever country folk did way back when

Cause them horse ridin', cattle herdin', group of kids

Ain't the same now as they were back then

Chuggin' down beer and shootin' some deer

Lightin' one up just to bring some cheer

I don't know why, it's so unclear

I'm sorry to say but you guys are kinda weird

So i've heard some country songs that do this thing

It's kinda like rapping but a little more lame

And they do it in the most obnoxious southern accent

Oh wait what, just four bars?

Well here we go again!

Let's go down by the river and do a jig

Or whatever country folk did way back when

Cause them horse ridin', cattle herdin', group of kids

Ain't the same now as they were back then

Chuggin' down beer and shootin' some deer

Lightin' one up just to bring some cheer

I don't know why, it's so unclear

I'm sorry to say but you guys are pretty weird

These songs all got the 4 most simple chords

Why can't y'all spice it up and add a few more?

They're all about drinkin' sex and smokin' beer

I don't think that's right but do you think I care?

When did this stuff become so basic?

So boring and lame, why do white girls love it?

Bring back the olden' days when music was good

Bring the beat back in let me show you how it's done

Stop writing songs about doing jigs

Stop doing stuff like those old country kids

Those horse ridin', cattle herdin', son of a guns

Will never be the same now under the sun

No more beer, no more deer

Stop lighting up just to bring some cheer

I don't know why, it's so unclear

So bizarre, so too weird

I don't know why, it's real unclear

I'm sorry to say but you new country folk are kinda gay
