jon pardi - call me country lyrics
[verse 1]
i’m a ghost on the radio
a needle on the vinyl
a country boy survival
the bottom of a bottle
i’m a fightin’ side of you and me
and my heart’s down in tennessee
[chorus]
and i sing songs about freight trains and prisons
heartaches and honky-tonks
and cowboys and outlaws
good-hearted women
in boots and straw hats
all gone, just like that
they can’t even recognize me
they used to call me country
[verse 2]
used to have cool names like ‘willie’ and ‘waylon’
‘merle’ and ‘hank’
we all stood together
we sang and we drank
chased the white lines
night after night
[chorus]
singin’ songs about freight trains and prisons
heartaches and honky-tonks
and cowboys and outlaws
good-hearted women
in boots and straw hats
all gone, just like that
they can’t even recognize me
they used to call me country
[verse 3]
like an old violin
put away and never played again
paycheck and cash
naw, they ain’t comin’ back
[chorus]
they did songs about freight trains and prisons
heartaches and honky tonks
and cowboys and outlaws
good-hearted women
in boots and straw hats
all gone, just like that
they can’t even recognize me
they used to call me country
[outro]
they used to call me country
i’m a thing of the past
i’m a ghost on the radio
