"Long Live Country Music" lyrics

"Long Live Country Music"

The cover was five, the cover band's free
Ain't sure what I'm drinking, could be gasoline
All gas, no brakes when the pedal steel starts crying, yeah
They say it's bad for my wallet, it's bad for my liver
Singing "Should've Been a Cowboy," smoking cowboy killers
How I'm living's proof that I ain't afraid of dying, yeah

Ooh
I walk that line like Johnny
Ooh
But I'll do it looking like Dolly

I'll be six feet under sawdust floors
Singing hillbilly shit 'til I can't no more
Good thing I pray 'cause this train's a wreck
Three chords, three sheets 'til I'm good and dead
Dying living the dream, that's a damn good way to do it
Might not live long, but long live country music

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Hand on the Bible, hand on the microphone
Yeah, I'm half King James, other half George Jones
Past 10 p.m., I crank it to eleven
I hope raising hell won't keep my ass outta Heaven

I'll be six feet under sawdust floors
Singing hillbilly shit 'til I can't no more
Good thing I pray 'cause this train's a wreck
Three chords, three sheets 'til I'm good and dead
Dying living the dream, that's a damn good way to do it
Might not live long, but long live country music

Woah, woah, woah, woah
Long live country music
Hey

Ooh
I walk that line like Johnny
Ooh
But I'll do it looking like Dolly

I'll be six feet under sawdust floors
Singing hillbilly shit 'til I can't no more
Good thing I pray 'cause this train's a wreck
Three chords, three sheets 'til I'm good and dead
Dying on this hill, dying on some stage
I'll have "rowdy as hell" written on my grave
Bury me in curls and my Friday boots
What a way to go if I get to choose
Dying living the dream, that's a damn good way to do it
Might not live long, but long live country music
