He ain't country
Rock and roll singer 
That's what I used to be 
Then I heard some country music 
And it got a hold on me 
So I went and listened 
To a good ole country band 
And I sang me a country song 
'Bout a woman leaving a man 
Put my guitar down 
And I turned to walk away 
When walking from the band stand 
I heard someone say 
[Chorus:] 
He ain't country 
He wasn't there with us 
He wasn't there when them goin' got rough 
He ain't country 
Don't remember him 
He didn't eat them beans 
And wear them jeans 
He didn't pick and grin with us 
I went to my record shop 
And I know what I must do 
By some record made by Hank 
And listen for a month or two 
Then I bought a guitar 
And I practiced day and night 
Then I headed out for Nashville 
Everything gonna be alright 
There I sang my country song 
Happy as can be 
Then I heard somebody say 
This boy don't look country to me 
[Chorus] 
Well then my country record 
Become a great big hit 
And I'm traveling all over the country 
Given them girls a fit 
Met a rock and roller 
He sat in with my band 
He said he wants to be country 
And to be just like I am 
He broke down his guitar 
And turned to walk away 
I turned to the band 
I had to grin at what i had to say
[Chorus]
