“That Ain’t Country”, Aaron Lewis- Lyrics

What a sad state of affairs I’m in
Cause I’m trying to compete where I just don’t fit in
Cause the country, if you call it that, from off the road
Ain’t country just because I’m old enough to know that

That ain’t country
That’s a natural fact
It’s full of tails of good times and happy endings
My life ain’t like that
So I’ll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs
Full of truth and consequences, all the things gone wrong
Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie
I’d like to spit a little beach-nut right in that dude’s eye

Cause that ain’t country
That’s a natural fact
It’s full of tails of good times and happy endings
My life ain’t like that
So I’ll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

Now listen here
We got Waylon singing songs bout a Ramblin’ Man
And Junior’s got a cold one in his hand
And the Possum’s gettin drunk again imagine that
And Charlie Daniels playing fiddle underneath that hat
And John and June are goin’ back and forth again
And David Allan Coe is singing ’bout his kin
And Haggard sings the songs that’ll save your soul
And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole

Cause that shit’s country
That’s a natural fact
It’s full of tails of hard times and complications
Ain’t life like that?
So I’ll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today
The ones that speak to me
The way I feel today

Lyrical Diary-“That Ain’t Country”, Aaron Lewis- Lyrics

“That Ain’t Country”, Aaron Lewis- Lyrics. Writer(s): Aaron Lewis, album: “Sinner” (2016)

The lyrics of that ain’t country by Aaron Lewis express the singer’s frustration with how Nashville has changed over the years. Lewis contends that the city has become “a corporate run town” and that the music industry has become “a business, not an art form.” He expresses his disdain for how radio stations play popular country music instead of promoting and playing music that is unique and authentic to the genre.

Song Bangladesh-Lyrical Diary

Bangla Song Lyrics – Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.

Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
