"Wake Up And Smell The Country" lyrics

Well, it Jones's like George and it Merles like Haggard
Rocks like a jukebox on three legs
Went away for a while then it came back sadder
Been a long long night but it's a brand new day

Wake up and smell the country
Just a-ringin' like a fire alarm
Wake up and smell the country
Just swingin' like a steel guitar
Yeah, it's been twangin' like a Tele
And a-pickin' like a chicken
Rollin' like a train comin' home
Wake up and smell the country
Aw, can't you hear the country song

They thought they'd run it off to make their pockets get deeper
Stackin' up money like bales of hay
But now it's hotter than a sermon from a backwoods preacher
Pickin' up steam on the radio waves

Wake up and smell the country
Just a-ringin' like a fire alarm
Wake up and smell the country
Just singin' like a steel guitar
Yeah, it's been twanging like a Tele
And a-pickin' like a chicken
Rollin' like a train comin' home
Wake up and smell the country
Aw, can't you hear the country song

Don't it hurt so good
Don't it feel so right
Don't it sound just like
Home sweet home

Wake up and smell the country
Just a ringin' like a fire alarm
Oh, wake up and smell the country
Just a swingin' like a steel guitar
Yeah, it's been twanging like a Tele
And a-pickin' like a chicken
Rollin' like a train comin' home
Wake up and smell the country
Aw, can't you hear the country song

Yeah, if it's pickin' like a chicken
And a-twangin' like a Tele
Don't you think it's been too long
Wake up and smell the country
Aw, can't you hear the country song
