Country Music, I’m Talking to You

[Verse 1]
It's not about the claims you make
True tales or what's at stake
I smell business in everything you do
I wasn't surprised but it made me sick
How you turned your back on the Dixie Chicks
While waving that old Red White and Blue

[Chorus 1]
Country music, I'm talking to you
Country music, I'm talking to you
I don't love you like I used to do
Sad to say but I'm afraid it's true
You left me, man, I didn't leave you
Sunday morning comin' down
Would not be on your radio now
It's more about having rum drinks by the pool
Yeah you treat us like we're all a bunch of fools
Country music, I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you

[Verse 2]
Well I don't care if you go to church
Or if you're on some kind of other search
And I sure don't care who out-countrys who
I want songs that make me feel
Something new and true and real
Not just touching bases
All safe and cute
Yeah

[Chorus]
Country music, I'm talking to you
Country music, I'm talking to you
I don't love you like I used to
Sad to say but I'm afraid it's true
You left me I didn't leave you
Sunday morning comin' down
Would not be on your radio now
Winded raw and edgy somehow lose its cool
And would you send me an Hal Ketchum, and Mary Gauthier, and Fred Eaglesmith, and Malcolm Holcombe, and Monkey Wilson, the latest rules
Hey country music, I'm talking to you
Country music I'm talking to you
Country music I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
That's right
