HE WAS RASIED 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.
VERSE 2
HE TOLD HIS DADDY, CATCH UP WITH THE TIMES.
HE SAID, NOW OF DAYS PEOPLE TRADE HEIFERS ONLINE
DADDY AIN'T SEALING DEALS WITH A HANDSHAKE LIKE BEFORE
AND COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY NO MORE. NO, COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY
NO MORE.
THE BACK FORTY WAS SOLD TO MAKE UP FOR HARD TIMES
AND 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, EVERYONES LOCKING THERE DOORS
CAUSE COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY NO MORE.
NOW HIS DAD SITS IN TRAFFIC LOOKING ROUND AT THE CHANGE
WATCHING CREWS TURN THE COUNTRY ROAD INTO FOUR LANES
THE OLD SUNDAY DRIVE HAS TURNED INTO A CHORE
AND COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY NO MORE
LORD, COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY NO MORE
REPEAT CHORUS
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.
