Subject: IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC I'D GO CRAZY
IF IT WEREN'T FOR COUNTRY MUSIC I'D GO CRAZY
Recorded by Clinton Gregory
Words and music by Alan Syms
CAPO on 2nd FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D
I sit here by the Jukebox in this country bar
I gotta hear some fiddle and some steel guitar
A month ago my lovin' lady threw me out
And I don't know what to do, so I do without;
This old city brings me down, it ain't been good to me
But it's all that I can do to keep my sanity
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go Crazy.
I got holes in my boots, I got holes in my jeans
Holes in my pockets, man you know what that means
Between the bar tab and the jukebox, my money's all been spent
I'd even vote for Merle Haggard for president;
Play some HANK, Play some WILLIE, Play some RESTLESS HEART
But don't play "A TENDER LIE" 'cause I might fall apart
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go Crazy.
Repeat 3rd and 4th Verses
But the future's lookin' bright, 'cause I'm finally feelin' right
And If It Weren't For Country Music I'd Go Crazy.
