If It Weren't For Country Music
By Clinton Gregory
Capo 2
D
I sit here by the jukebox in this country bar
A
I gotta hear some fiddle and some steel guitar
A month ago my lovin' lady threw me out
D
And I don't know what to do, so I just do without
This old city brings me down, it ain't been good to me
D7 G
But it's all that I can do to keep my sanity
A
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
D
And if it weren't for country music I'd go crazy
Chorus:
G D
I got holes in my boots, I got holes in my jeans
A7 D
Holes in my pockets, man you know what that means
G D
Between the bar tab and the jukebox, my money's all been spent
E7 A
And I’d vote for Merle Haggard for president
D
Play some Hank, play some Willie, play some Restless Heart
D7 G
But don't play "A Tender Lie" 'cause I might fall apart
A
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
D
And if it weren't for country music I'd go crazy
Repeat Chorus
