What This Country Needs lyrics
If I was runnin this country
I d start it over from scratch
Keep what s good an pile up what s bad
And then I d strike the match
Yea, we d go back to the basics
Of how things ought to be
Yea, there d be a lot of changes
If it was left up to me

Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song we can all sing along
From sea to shinin sea
Yea, be proud of it and always love it
That s what this country needs

Now if you want to hear about livin
Just twist that radio dial
Til you come to a singer singin
What life is all about
Cause you can t deny that people still cry
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
And that s my humble opinion y all
An you can take it for what it s worth

Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song we can all sing along
From sea to shinin sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That s what this country needs

Yea, turn it on up and let it ring out
Across the land of the free
They ought to build a statue of the Hank Williams Senior
In Washington, D.C

Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a saw an fiddle right square in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And yo, give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shinin sea
Yea, be proud of it an always love it
That s what this country needs

You just be proud of it an always love it
That s what this country needs
