They Don'T Write Songs Like That Anymore

I turned off the radio, picked up my guitar
Played some old country songs by heart
Waylon to Willie, Lefty to Jones
Man they don't write songs like that anymore

They say I'm an old soul, just carrying on
An old time tradition in good ol' country songs
Walking the bass line and four on the floor
Man they don't write songs like that anymore

Songs about heartache and hard working folks
And how to relate to being busted and broke
Crying steel, three chords and the truth
And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues
Nothing's for certain, but one thing's for sure
They don't write songs like that anymore

So you got yourself a banjo, some boots and blue jeans
You say that you're country, that ain't what it means
It's about paying respect to the ones that came before
I guess, they don't write songs like that anymore

Songs about heartache and hard working folks
And how to relate to being busted and broke
Crying steel, three chords and the truth
And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues
Nothing's for certain
But one thing's for sure
They don't write songs like that anymore

Songs about heartache and hard working folks
And how to relate to being busted and broke
Crying steel, three chords and the truth
And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues
Nothing's for certain
But one thing's for sure
They don't write songs like that anymore
No, they don't write songs like that, like that anymore
