A Good Country Song

          (While participating in a songwriters critique group for Country music I was criticized by the younger members of the clique for being too old and having life a too sheltered life to write Country music.  So I wrote this song in response.)

I always wanted, to have lots of money and fame

To write Country music, have big stars remember my name;

I never made Nashville, and I should have known all along

I've been too good, to write a good Country song. 

                     Refrain

          I ain't drunk enough whiskey, to write a good Country song.

          Nor chased enough women, or done hardly anything wrong.

          I've never been wicked, and I wouldn’t know how to get stoned.

           I've been too good, to write a good Country song. 

Trains make me nervous, and trucks are expensive to buy

I still live with Mother, so I’ve had no heartaches to cry.

I've never been lonely, ’cause I never started to roam

I've been too good, to write a good Country song.

                    Refrain 

          I ain't drunk enough whiskey, to write a good Country song.

          Nor chased enough women, or done hardly anything wrong.

          I've never been wicked, and I wouldn’t know how to get stoned.

           I've been too good, to write a good Country song.
