Lyrics
Story Of A Country Singer
My future's not bright, I would bet
My last hit was on cassette
I missed out on the whole Outlaw thing
On account of my gold wedding ring
My heroes were Waylon and Hank
My decision making though wasn't top rank
When I got offered a spot on a tour
I was unavailable that's for sure
Chorus
I'm a well meaning country singer and I'm hot with the axe
I sing pretty well and dress the way that I should
But for some stupid reason I always messed up
And never act the way that I should
Verse
If I came up with a killer riff
Me and my guitarist would have a tiff
My TV debut it was binned
When I turned up 50 sheets to the wind
Chorus
I'm a well meaning country singer and I'm hot with the axe
I sing pretty well and dress just the way that I should
But for some stupid reason I always messed up
And never act the way that I should
Bridge
I've gigged all over this great land in honky tonks and bars
Tried with all my might but never quite became a star
Verse
So if you see me performing tonight
Cheering and clapping just might
Help me forget how I blew my big chance
When I went onstage without my pants
Chorus
I'm a well meaning country singer and I'm hot with the axe
I sing pretty well and dress just the way that I should
But for some stupid reason I always mess up
And I never act the way that I should
I'm a well meaning country singer, I'm hot with the axe
I sing pretty well and dress just the way that I should
But for some stupid reason I always mess up
And never act the way that I should
