Old School Country Song

Somewhere in the world tonight

Someone’s on a red-eye flight

While someone’s heart is breaking back at home

Somewhere out there in a bar

Someone swipes a credit card

Buys a beer to cry in all night long

In a chat room out in cyberspace

They might not be face to face

They both know they’re up to something wrong

They say we’ve come a long long way

Talkin’ ‘bout the world today

It still sounds like an old school country song

Cause folks still love and folks still leave

Drunks get drunk and cheaters cheat

And there’s just something lonesome about a midnight train

Someone done somebody wrong

We’ll miss mama when she’s gone

And trust me that ain’t never gonna change

Breakin’ up is still a mess

It don’t make a heart hurt less

Cause you text it from a mobile phone

All you’ve really done you see

Is modernize the melody

But it still sounds like an old school country song

Folks still love and folks still leave

Drunks get drunk and cheaters cheat

And there’s just something lonesome about a midnight train

Someone done somebody wrong

We’ll miss mama when she’s gone

And trust me that ain’t never gonna change

You can take it off that old jukebox

Burn it on your new iPod

But three chords and the truth are just as strong

You can say we’ve come a long long way

Play what you wanna play

But there’s nothing like an old school country song

Yeah life is still an old school country song
