legends of country - anything but country lyrics

[verse 1]
it was just a night in the pub like all the others
at last orders i was sitting there drinking alone
i could have left those last few sips of warm lager in that glass
but i just didn’t feel like going home
i asked the girl behind the bar about the jukebox
and if we still had time for a couple of songs
she took some change from her tip jar
and i asked her if there was anything she wanted me to put on

[chorus]
and she said
“anything but country
anything but that
it’s all pick up trucks and twelve point bucks and boots and silly hats
i like a little dolly parton and i don’t mind johnny cash
put on anything but country
anything but that”

[verse 2]
she cashed up as i scrolled down through the jukebox
and tried to pick out a song we both might like
i knew she didn’t like country music but i don’t like a lot else
and i guess you’ll never know unless you try
i eased her in with a bit of kenny rogers
followed it up with a little merle
then i put on hank williams junior and she started pouring shots
and the rest of the night was a blur
[chorus]
’cause she liked anything but country
that’s what she said
but i could tell by the way she was looking at me
we wouldn’t be leaving just yet
i could hear her humming along when i put on tammy wynette
she liked anything but country
or so she said
anything but country
but i wasn’t done yet

[bridge]
we left the pub at four o’clock in the morning
singing bobbie gentry and a bottle of bourbon down
if you don’t like country music i guess we can still be friends
just give it time and i know you’ll come around

[chorus]
’cause she liked anything but country
that’s what she thought
she’d never been one for drinking whiskey and wearing cut off shorts
but i like to think there’s a little bit of waylon in us all
she liked anything but country
or so she thought
anything but country
but not anymore
anything but country
not anymore
