Running This Country Songtext
If I was running this country
I′d build a big old bar
With a stage for a singer
And a fiddle and a steel guitar
Hell if I was running this roost
I'd use an iron fist
You wouldn′t hear one lick of that tailgate drum loop shit
It'd be nothing but Cash
Hank, Waylon, and Willie
We'd be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
If I was running this country
I′d go back in time
Between 1953 and ′79
There'd be a man in black
An Okie from Muskogee
And Hank Williams in the back of a big old Cadillac
A Buck Owens and Lefty
A Bob Wills and Patsy
We′d be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
They'd never vote us in
But buddy if they did
I′d be the first ever rhinestone suit wearin' President
And I can play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
If I was running this country
I′d change a thing or two
We'd start the national anthem
With a little working man blues
There'd be only one law
You′d have to be an outlaw
I′d make my oval office out of any old hole in the wall
No tax on beer
Free government whiskey
We'd need a jukebox junkie
To start running this country
They′d never vote us in
But buddy if they did
I'd be the first ever rhinestone suit wearin′ President
And I can play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
We'd be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
I′d build a big old bar
With a stage for a singer
And a fiddle and a steel guitar
Hell if I was running this roost
I'd use an iron fist
You wouldn′t hear one lick of that tailgate drum loop shit
It'd be nothing but Cash
Hank, Waylon, and Willie
We'd be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
If I was running this country
I′d go back in time
Between 1953 and ′79
There'd be a man in black
An Okie from Muskogee
And Hank Williams in the back of a big old Cadillac
A Buck Owens and Lefty
A Bob Wills and Patsy
We′d be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
They'd never vote us in
But buddy if they did
I′d be the first ever rhinestone suit wearin' President
And I can play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
If I was running this country
I′d change a thing or two
We'd start the national anthem
With a little working man blues
There'd be only one law
You′d have to be an outlaw
I′d make my oval office out of any old hole in the wall
No tax on beer

We'd need a jukebox junkie
To start running this country
They′d never vote us in
But buddy if they did
I'd be the first ever rhinestone suit wearin′ President
And I can play the part on this old guitar
Call it the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
We'd be the honky tonk party
If I was running this country
