"When Country Was" lyrics

I don't see Ol' glory
Flying on every house up and down main
When a promise was a hand shake
And how ya doin' was a windshield wave

When the clothes were drying out on the line
In the backyard at momma's house
When someone would say bless your heart
And you knew what they were talking about

Back when country was a steel guitar
Quarter in a jukebox and a smokey bar
When Jesus matter and you said yes ma'am
Back when people used to give a damn
And hearin' Waylon on the radio
Front porch pickin' as the sun sets low
Sipping whiskey from ya grandpa's flask
I'd love load the truck up and head on back...
Back when country was...
Back when country was...

Saturday supper, chicken fried steak
Mashed potatoes and some home grown greens
Sunday mornin', singin' our prayers
With some Johnny Cash 3:16
Old dirt roads, stop sign bullet holes
And a tire swing on a tree

Back when country was a steel guitar
Quarter in a jukebox and a smokey bar
When Jesus matter and you said yes ma'am
Back when people used to give a damn
And hearin' Waylon on the radio
Front porch pickin' as the sun sets low
Sipping whiskey from ya grandpa's flask
I'd love load the truck up and head on back...
Back when country was...
Back when country was...

And I miss Waylon on the radio
Front porch pickin' as the sun sets low
And sipping whiskey from my grandpa's flask
I'd love to load the truck up and head on back
Back when country was...
Back when country was...
Back when country was...
Back when country was...
