"Country Nowadays (Live)" lyrics

I just want to catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer
And not wake up to all this stuff I don't want to hear
Like the same kind of gun I hunt with, just killed another man
The only thing mine ever shot was deer from my deer stand

I just want to cut my grass, feed my dogs, and wear my boots
Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evening news
Be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls
I'd be up the creek in hot water in this "cancel your ass" world

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames
Saying I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was down South, Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

I just wanna cut my grass, watch my game, say my prayers
Not get a picture of a flag up in flames while people cheer
Oh, the same one my grandaddy fought for, stomped on like it's trash
And I'm a downright hateful monster if I back the blue and badge

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames
Saying I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was red letter Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country

Because I have my morals and a small-town point of view
You assume that you don't like me means that I don't like you too

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
In this country nowadays
