"Country Nowadays" lyrics

"Country Nowadays"

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

I just wanna grow my corn, feed my dogs, wear my boots
Not turn the TV on and sit and watch the evening news
And be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls
I'll 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 small town Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

I just wanna cut my grass, watch my games, say my prayers
Not get a picture of a flag up in flames as people cheer
Yeah, the same one my granddaddy fought for being stepped on like it's trash
And I'm a down right 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 nowadays

All I do is mind my business, live my life the best I can
Try to be a real good husband, a real good daddy, a real good man
But 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
The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames
Saying I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was gospel Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
In this country nowadays
