Lyrics
Verse 1
What happened to outlaws like Haggard and Cash
When country was meant for the bold and the brash
Fiddle and guitar, with a little bit of rasp
Songs meant for drinking and good times to last
CHORUS
Let's get back to country
It's where I was born and where I'll be
Let's get back to easy livin', rockin' under that old oak tree
Take me back to grandpa's, watching HeeHaw on the tv
Let's get back to country, it's where I want to be.
Interlude (instrumental CHORUS)
Verse 2
I love the ladies, Tucker and Lynn,
Who sang about heartache and the places they've been
Starting from nothing, always wearing a grin
Music from the soul, I want to hear it again.
CHORUS
Let's get back to country
It's where I was born and where I'll be
Let's get back to easy livin', rockin' under that old oak tree
Take me back to grandpa's, watching HeeHaw on the tv
Let's get back to country, it's where I want to be.
