THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG

GARY GEREAU 1967 (Green Bay , WI)

Rhymed
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
COUNTRY FOLKS CAN SING ALONG
BUT THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG

I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT COWBOY BOOTS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT MY SOUTHERN ROOTS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT BRUNSWICK STEW
NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A BOY NAMED SUE
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT PICK UP TRUCKS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT HUNTING DUCKS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A SOUTHERN NIGHT
NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A DIXIELAND DELIGHT
 
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT ICE COLD BEER
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT THE DIRT ROADS HERE
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT NASCAR RACES
NOT GONNA SING ABOUT FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT HONKY TONK BARS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT GIBSON GUITARS
CAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY SONG
I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A BAD BREAKUP
NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A RED SOLO CUP

I CAN SING ABOUT ROCK MIXED WITH A LITTLE ROLL
I CAN SING ABOUT POP MIXED WITH A LITTLE SOUL
BUT I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT A HEART THAT'S HURT
AND I'M NOT GONNA SING ABOUT BUYING DIRT
