Country Ain't Country

He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots
 Been to college and then law school since leaving his roots
 Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford
 Country ain't country no more.
 He told his daddy catch up with the times
 He said now a days people trade heifers online
 Dad ain't sealing deals with a handshake like before
 Country ain't country no more.
 No, country ain't country no more.
 The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
 Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
 The houses went up and the trees were cut down
 And there went the finest deer hunting around
 Lord, everyone's locking their doors
 'Cause country ain't country no more.
 Now his dad sits in traffic looking 'round at the change
 Watching crews turn the county road into four lanes
 The old Sunday drive has turned into a chore
 Country ain't country no more.
 Lord, country ain't country no more.
 The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
 Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
 The houses went up and the trees were cut down
 And there went the finest deer hunting around
 Lord, everyone's locking their doors
 'Cause country ain't country no more.
 There's no turning back
 And you just can't ignore
 That country ain't country no more.
 No, country ain't country no more...
 Country certainly isn't country anymore...
 thanks to Kerry. VOTE Bush!
