Call Me Country lyrics

I'm a ghost on the radio A needle on the vinyl A country boy survival The bottom of a bottle I'm a fightin' side of you and me And my heart's down in Tennessee And I sing songs about freight trains and prisons Heartaches and honky-tonks And cowboys and outlaws Good-hearted women In boots and straw hats All gone, just like that They can't even recognize me They used to call me Country Used to have cool names like 'Willie' and 'Waylon' 'Merle' and 'Hank' We all stood together We sang and we drank Chased the white lines Night after night Singin' songs about freight trains and prisons Heartaches and honky-tonks And cowboys and outlaws Good-hearted women In boots and straw hats All gone, just like that They can't even recognize me They used to call me Country Like an Old Violin Put away and never played again Paycheck and Cash Naw, they ain't comin' back They did songs about freight trains and prisons Heartaches and honky tonks And cowboys and outlaws Good-hearted women In boots and straw hats All gone, just like that They can't even recognize me They used to call me Country They used to call me Country I'm a thing of the past I'm a ghost on the radio
