What This Country Needs — текст песни (Aaron Tippin)

If I was runnin` this country
I`d start it over from scratch
Keep what`s good, pile up what`s bad
And then I`d strike the match
Yeah, we`d go back to the basics
Of how things ought to be
Yeah, there`d be a lot of changes
If it was left up to me

`Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That`s what this country needs

Now if you want to hear about livin`
Just twist that radio dial
`Til you come to a singer singin`
What life is all about
`Cause you can`t deny that people still cry
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
And that`s my humble opinion y`all
You can take it for what it`s worth

`Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That`s what this country needs

Yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out
Across the land of the free
They ought to build a statue of Hand Williams, Sr.
In Washington, D.C.

`Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
Yeah and put a sawin` fiddle right square in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And ya`ll give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That`s what this country needs

You just be proud of it and always love it
And that`s what this country needs
