They Don't Write Songs Like That Anymore

I turned off the radio, picked up my guitar Played some old country songs by heart Waylon to Willie, Lefty to Jones Man they don't write songs like that anymore They say I'm an old soul, just carrying on An old time tradition in good ol' country songs Walking the bass line and four on the floor Man they don't write songs like that anymore Songs about heartache and hard working folks And how to relate to being busted and broke Crying steel, three chords and the truth And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues Nothing's for certain, but one thing's for sure They don't write songs like that anymore So you got yourself a banjo, some boots and blue jeans You say that you're country, that ain't what it means It's about paying respect to the ones that came before I guess, they don't write songs like that anymore Songs about heartache and hard working folks And how to relate to being busted and broke Crying steel, three chords and the truth And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues Nothing's for certain But one thing's for sure They don't write songs like that anymore Songs about heartache and hard working folks And how to relate to being busted and broke Crying steel, three chords and the truth And drinking whiskey to drown out the blues Nothing's for certain But one thing's for sure They don't write songs like that anymore No, they don't write songs like that, like that anymore
