I'd rather take my things and go back to Texas ya see
That's tryin' to beat your back doors down
'Cause they killed it ya see
Now, I would pack up and I'd leave this dirty town
But all I see in Nashville
I don't think that country's here
Well, I used to think that country
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
I'd rather take my things and
Well, I used to think that country
I'm so tired of this new stuff
Maybe one day but not right now
But they've done taken me for so much
Well, I used to think that country
They don't care about the music ya see
Of putting people down when you got the best
They're tryin' to get me to sing
Is a bunch of backstabbers takin' you and me
That I can't get out now
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
Well, I used to think that country
Well, you can only take so much
Was out of Nashville, Tennessee
That ain't no country music to me
