Country Right Now

lyrics

I always loved a country song
Three chords and truth- you can't go wrong
Those simple, sweet old tunes from days of yore
But lately when I hear that swing, 
I stop and think, "Wait, here's a thing:
I wonder who the swingers voted for."

I always loved the joyful noise
That's raised by rural good ole boys
The songs they learned from pappy's pappy's pap.
But now I hear a banjo strum and just assume the strummer's dumb
As plain as blue and red marked on a map

Cuz I love this country
And I love the countryside
But I don't love country right now.

Now, I'm not one to take a side
Along a cultural divide
And I know they've been a long time out of luck
But lately ev'ry time I hear 
a song 'bout trucks or trains or beer,
I just assume the truck's a racist truck

Cuz I love this country
And I love the countryside
But I don't love country right now.

Of course, I must remember still:
These are my people good or ill.
I come from ancient West Virginia stock.
So maybe in a year or so
I'll take a breath and let it go
'Til then I'm gonna stick to indie rock

Cuz I love this country
And I love the countryside
But I don't love country right now.
I love this country
And I love the countryside
But I don't love country right now.
