This Is Country Music Lyrics
You're not supposed to say the word "cancer" in a song
And tellin' folks that Jesus is the answer can run 'em wrong
It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns or Mama
Yeah that might be true
But this is country music
And we do
Do you like to drink a cold one on the weekend
And get a little loud?
Do you wanna say "I'm sorry" or "I love you"
But you don't know how?
And do you wish somebody had the nerve
To tell that stupid boss of your's to shove it
Next time he yells you at?
Well this is country music
And we do
So turn it on, turn it up
And sing along
This is real
This is your life in a song
Yeah, this is country music
Are you haunted by the echo of your mother on the phone?
Cryin' as she tells you that your brother is not comin' home?
And if there's anyone that still has pride and the memory
Of those that died defending the old red, white and blue
This is country music
And we do
So turn it on, turn it up
And sing along
This is real
This is your life in a song
Just like a road that takes you home
Yeah this is right where you belong
This is country music
This is country music
He Stopped Loving Her Today
This is country music
Hello Darlin'
This is country music
God Bless the USA
This is country music
Amarillo By the Morning
This is country music
Stand By Your Man
This is country music
Mama Tried
This is country music
Take Me Home
This is country music
I Walk The Line
This is country music
Country Boy Can Survive
This is country music
And tellin' folks that Jesus is the answer can run 'em wrong
It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns or Mama
Yeah that might be true
And we do
And get a little loud?
Do you wanna say "I'm sorry" or "I love you"
But you don't know how?
To tell that stupid boss of your's to shove it
Next time he yells you at?
And we do
And sing along
This is real
This is your life in a song
Yeah, this is country music
Cryin' as she tells you that your brother is not comin' home?
And if there's anyone that still has pride and the memory
Of those that died defending the old red, white and blue
And we do
And sing along
This is real
This is your life in a song
Just like a road that takes you home
Yeah this is right where you belong
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music
This is country music

Another song that kinda pokes fun at society and how country music does everything that everyone else doesn't to avoid any awckward or unpleaseant situations. But that's how it's done in this music industry. Great music doesn't come without taking some risks here and there.
I gained even more respect for Brad Paisley. He can perfectly blend serious with hilarious. HE is the future of country music. This song tells about why country music is the best genera of music, it's pretty self explanatory.
This is the title track from the 2011 album. When I saw the album was called this I thought its a bit presumptious to brand yourself like that. But I'm a big fan of Brad and if his name is on it I will buy it. It didn't disappoint and this song is typical of that whole album. So current and relevant. Country music is not just for people who wear all denim and go linedancing and live out in the sticks- it is real and honest. I love the fact he talks about real things, difficult and complicated things and is able to bring humor to it and give a voice in song for those situations that are normally too touchy to deal with.
I love the bits at the end where he quotes so many of the greats. He is paying tribute to all that comes under the umbrella of country music and showing the range and variety.
Sorry I sound like a total country music fanatical canvassing politician! But it really is all just so inspiring :-)
