"Country Singer" lyrics

"Country Singer"

Says he's a born again, godly man
But the Devil is his biggest fan
A joke, from a country song trope
The only line that he's walking
Is to the bar and back again
My heart's broke, with this country song trope
Trucks, beer and football
Thinks he's all a woman could need

But I ain't never gonna write you no "Jolene"
I won't plead, lose sleep - just gonna make you leave
I'm not the kinda girl who's gonna key your car
I'll just go downtown and gossip in your favourite bar
Lord knows, I won't date a coun...try singer

His biggest hit on radio
Was a for a busty little blonde that he cheated on
There's no hope, for that country song trope
He thinks misogyny's a French three-way
Or cutting his beard would make him gay
Can't cope, for this country song trope
Trucks, beer and football
Thinks he's all a woman could need (oh please!)

But I ain't never gonna write you no "Jolene"
I won't plead, lose sleep - just gonna make you leave
I'm not the kinda girl who's gonna key your car (But I might!)
I'll just go downtown and gossip in your favourite bar
Lord knows, I won't date a coun...try singer

He's a washed up used-to-be, still wants to be a star
Damn he's wishing he could be like Tim McGraw
Can never keep a girl, even his dog it ran away
I learned my lesson yeah he's never gonna change

Alright, bring it home

I ain't never gonna write you no "Jolene"
I won't plead, lose sleep - just gonna make you leave
I'm not the kinda girl who's gonna key your car
I'll just go downtown and gossip in your favourite bar
Lord knows, I won't date a coun...try singer
The Lord knows, I won't date a coun...try singer
