If I was
A-runnin'
This country
I'd start it over
From scratch
Keep what's good
And pile up
What's bad
And then I'd
Strike the match
Yeah we'd go back
To the basics
Of how things
Oughta be
A-yeah there'd be
A lot of changes
If it was
Left up to me
Cause what this
Country needs
Is a little more
Steel guitar
And put
A little fiddle
Right in
The middle
Straight out of
A Texas bar
And give us a song
We can all
Sing along from
Sea to shining sea
Yeah be
Proud of it
And always love it
That's what this
Country needs
Now if you wanna
Hear about livin'
just twist that
Radio dial
You come to
A singer singing
What life is
All about
Cause ya
Can't deny
That people
Still cry
And they laugh
And they smile
And they hurt
And that's my
Humble opinion
Ya'll
You can take
For what
It's worth
Cause what this
Country needs
Is a little more
Steel guitar
And put a
Little fiddle
Right in
The middle
Straight out of
A Texas bar
And give us a song
We can all
Sing along
From sea to
Shining sea
Be proud of it
And always love it
That's what this
Country needs
Yeah
Turn it on up
And let it
Ring out
Across the land
Of the free
They oughta build
A statue to
Hank Williams Sr.
In Washington D.C.
Cause what this
Country needs
Is a little more
Steel guitar
Yeah put a
Sawin' fiddle
Right square
In the middle
Straight out of
A Texas bar
Ya'll give us a song
We can all
Sing along
From sea to
Shining sea
Yeah
Be proud of it
And always love it
That's what this
Country needs
You just be
Proud of it and
Always love it
That's what this
Country needs...
