No, country ain't country no more
Looking 'round at the change
Since leaving his roots
Yeah, the back forty was sold to make up for hard times
Country ain't country no more
And there went the finest deer hunting around
Dad ain't sealing deals
Has turned into a chore
Been to college and then law school
Country ain't country no more
People trade heifers online"
Watching crews turn
The houses went up and the trees were cut down
Now his dad sits in traffic
Lord, everyone's locking their doors
That country ain't country no more
He said, "Now a days
Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
With a handshake like before
Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
'Cause country ain't country no more
The old Sunday drive
Lord, country ain't country no more
Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford
Lord, everyone's locking their doors
And there went the finest deer hunting around
The houses went up and the trees were cut down
Country ain't country no more
He told his daddy
Lord, country ain't country no more
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
There's no turning back and you just can't ignore
"Catch up with the times"
The county road into four lanes
