How do you write a country song?
She asked me.
Well, what you need is three chords
And the truth!
Don’t use complicated words in the song,
It needs to be strong and simple,
So that people can sing along!
It can help, if you’ve been brought up in the bush,
Away from the city push.
To rise early in the day,
To milk the cows and make hay,
You know how to tie the ribbon in your hair,
And wipe the tears from your eyes,
When you think someone doesn’t care.
A little hardship can go a long way!
To help you, with what you want to say!
You need to be inspired
In order to write your songs.
There is always the train,
And leaving home, to consider
Why someone did me wrong again.
How do you write a country song?
Was the question!
Well, just think about life,
And don’t eat and drink too much,
Otherwise, you will get indigestion!
