Johnathan East Just Like A Country Song
Well, my ex ol’ lady ran off with my best friend
And my girlfriend says that she understands just why
‘Cause all I do is gripe about her Momma
And I’ve drunk every bar in this old town plum dry
Now, I quit school the day that I turned sixteen
Got a full time job working at the DMV
I started making payments on a trailer
And devoted all my time to being free.
(1st Chorus)
And my life’s played out just like a country song
You can almost hear the fiddles as the guitars play
along
Momma tried to raised me right, Lord I guess I was too
far gone
My life’s played out just like a country song.
It wasn’t long ago when life was rosy
And every day the old sun would seem to shine
Every month they take a chunk out of my paycheck
For two little kids I ain’t even sure is mine.
(2nd Chorus)
My life’s played out just like a country song
Smokey bars and steel guitars, keep me dancing all
night long
Momma tried to raise me right, Lord I guess I was too
far gone
My life’s played out just like a country song.
(Guitar Solo)
Last night I went out drinkin’ in some bar room
Just how much I had it’s hard to tell
They said I kicked a whole straight through the jukebox
Punched a cop and I spent the night in jail.
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
My life’s played out just like a country song.
