Lyrics

I SIT HERE BY THE JUKEBOX IN THIS COUNTRY BAR,
I GOTTA HEAR SOME FIDDLE AND SOME STEEL GUITAR,
A MONTH AGO MY LOVIN' LADY THREW ME OUT,
AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO I JUST DO WITHOUT.

THIS OLD CITY BRINGS ME DOWN
IT AINT BEEN GOOD TO ME,
BUT ITS ALL THAT I CAN DO TO KEEP MY SANITY,
BUT THE FUTURE'S LOOKIN' BRIGHT,
CUZ I'M FINALLY FEELIN' RIGHT,
AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC, I'D GO CRAZY.

(CHORUS) 2 VERSES:
AND i'VE GOT HOLES IN MY BOOTS,
I GOT HOLES IN MY JEANS,
HOLES IN MY POCKETS,
MAN YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
WITH A BAR TAB AND THE JUKEBOX,
MY MONEY'S ALL BEEN SPENT,
AND I'D VOTE FOR MERLE HAGGARD FOR PRESIDENT.

PLAY SOME HANK, PLAY SOME WILLIE,
PLAY SOME RESTLESS HEART,
BUT DON'T PLAY A TENDER LIE,
CUZ I MIGHT FALL APART.
AHH, THE FUTURE'S LOOKIN' BRIGHT,
CUZ I'M FINALLY FEELIN' RIGHT,
AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC, I'D GO CRAZY.

REPEAT CHORUS

YEAH, THE FUTURE'S LOOKIN' BRIGHT,
AND I'M FINALLY FEELIN' RIGHT,
AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC I'D GO CRAZY.
