Country Ain't Country

He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots

Been to college and then law school since leaving his roots

Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford

Country ain't country no more.



He told his daddy catch up with the times

He said now a days people trade heifers online

Dad ain't sealing deals with a handshake like before

Country ain't country no more.

No, country ain't country no more.



The back forty was sold to make up for hard times

Then sold by the half acre lot overnight

The houses went up and the trees were cut down

And there went the finest deer hunting around

Lord, everyone's locking their doors

'Cause country ain't country no more.



Now his dad sits in traffic looking 'round at the change

Watching crews turn the county road into four lanes

The old Sunday drive has turned into a chore

Country ain't country no more.

Lord, country ain't country no more.



The back forty was sold to make up for hard times

Then sold by the half acre lot overnight

The houses went up and the trees were cut down

And there went the finest deer hunting around

Lord, everyone's locking their doors

'Cause country ain't country no more.



There's no turning back

And you just can't ignore

That country ain't country no more.

No, country ain't country no more...



Country certainly isn't country anymore...
