If It Ain't Broke

(albüm: Honky Tonks And Cheap Motels - 2008)

Well, the radio is playing an unfamiliar song
The DJ calls it country but hell I don't know it at all
One thing that's for certain, and I think old
Hank would agree
That sure don't sound like country to me
Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard
Like Ernest Tubb had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Well, nowadays in Nashville, it's like the Hollywood of the South
So-called country singers singing songs they know nothing about
Swimming pools and fancy cars, dating big-time movie stars
Well, that don't sound like country to me
Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard like George Jones had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well, my grandpa sat down and he told me about ten years ago said if you wanna play country music, boy
You better have a lot of soul but he came up from Kentucky, and he passed
It down to me
And this here sure as hell sounds country
To me
Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard like old Paycheck had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it If it ain't broke, don't fix it
