Kicked Outta Country

I just got the news today
 The record I sent 'em, they threw it away
 It don't fit the format, don't make the list
 They say I'm too old, won't even be missed
 It happened to Jones and even The Hag
 Waylon and Willie and the great Johnny Cash
 Kicked 'em right out without even a word
 But that ain't the end of the story I heard
 'Cause Cash stomped out the footlights
 And Haggard for long had a ball
 And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation
 And Jones never showed up at all
 They lived what they wrote
 And they wrote what they sang
 And getting kicked outta country, didn't hurt a thing
 Getting kicked outta country, didn't hurt a thing

 I just wrote a new song today
 Pulled out my old guitar and I started to play
 Pressing my fingers into the strings
 I felt the feelings a country song brings
 I did some Jones and one for The Hag
 Waylon and Willie and the great Johnny Cash
 They all got kicked outta country back then
 But then one day country came calling again
 And Cash stomped out the footlights
 And Haggard, for long had a ball
 And Willie and Waylon and Kris toured the nation
 And Jones showed up after all
 They lived what they wrote
 And they wrote what they sang
 Getting kicked outta country, didn't hurt a thing
 Getting kicked outta country, didn't hurt a thing
 ♪
 Well, it don't really matter
 'Cause I ain't gonna change
 So getting kicked outta country
 Won't hurt a thing
