lyrics

I Don’t Do Country
© 2007 Patti Shaffner

I’d like to write a country song
The kind that folks could sing along
The kind of song that they might buy
Down in Nashville Tennessee

The kind of song that Garth might sing
Think of all the money that would bring
That might be just fine for me
But I don’t do country

And can’t you see me at the Bluebird
Singin’ the blues
‘Bout the man who left me
And the way I’ve been abused

Blue jean skirt and a sequined sweater
I could be the next Loretter
Maybe fate would treat me better
But I don’t do country

Now if I was gonna make it big
I’d have to buy a big blonde wig
The kind of hair that Dolly wears
And I’d have to change my name

I’d do a spot on TNN
Then they’d have me back again
Think all the money I could spend
But I don’t do country

And can’t you see me at the Bluebird
Singin’ the blues
‘Bout the man who left me
And my troubles with the booze

Tight black jeans and a sequined sweater
I could be the next Loretter
Reba, Tricia, I’d be better
But I don’t do country

Now every Dick and Jane and Joe
Would all come out to see my show
I’d be making so much dough,
I’d buy the Country Hall of Fame

I’d buy half the State of Texas
Where I could hide out from all my exes
I’d have Willie do my taxes
But I don’t do country

And can’t you see me at the Bluebird
Singin’ the blues
‘Bout the man who left me
And the way I’ve been abused

Cowgirl boots and a sequined sweater
I could be the next Loretter
Maybe fate would treat me better
But I don’t do country
But I don’t do country
But I don’t do…… country
