Keep Country Music Sad

(album: Hargrove & Sweet Southern Sadness - The Early Extended Plays - 2020)

Like the Alabama weather
Gets bad not get better
The truth is sad but it sounds better
In a quiet country song

It turned these vices into toys
There's too much silence in the noise
'Cause no one likes to listen
When the stories get too long

I'll try to keep this short and sweet
Understand the change in things
But I can't shake this feeling
That the old ways are gone

So here's to all the stories
Told by way up souls
May we find the fight to bring to light
All the ways we'd be done wrong

I've never thought it'd get this far
And I hate I have to ask
But if only for the night
Can we keep country music sad

I never thought it'd get this far
And I hate I have to ask
But if only for the night
Can we keep country music sad
