Men They Couldn't Hang - Country Song lyrics

rate me

Some of us are born to lead

Some of us are born to breed

And some of us are born to sing love songs

Some of us are born to win

Some of us are born to sin

And some of us are good old country boys

Chorus:

So when you're feeling blue, here's what I'll do for

You

I'll pick up my guitar and start to play

And when I've made my choice I will raise my voice

And sing you a good old country love song

I'll sing a song of divorce

Or tell of lack of intercourse

Starving kids and tramps along the road

I'll sing about the gamblin' man

And God will save him if he can

Just prove his dominoes a bible

Chorus

Mama used to sing me a fine country tune

As my dinner was a stewin'

Yeah my Ma did everything for me

I thank the Lord above

He gave me life and he gave me love

Chorus

I'll tell you of my prison years

If I can just hold back the tears

Thinking of the bad things that I done

But I can't help a little smile

When I recall that sweet little child

Waiting at the gates when they released me

Chorus

Now she's waiting home hummin' a fine country tune

As my dinner is a stewin'

Yeah that girl does everything for me

I thank the Lord above

He gave me hope and he gave me love

Chorus

Well I don't care about sex or race

So long as you stay in your place

I'll find room for you in my song

I glamourise war and death

I epitomize self righteousness

And I'll never do my country wrong

Chorus
