You Don’t Have to be a Country Boy to Sing a Country Song

Lyrics

[VERSE 1] Well I've been living in the city for fifteen years And I've been working at the same old job I drive a truck for a living and it's honest work But I got to be moving on [PRE-Chorus] I saved a little money and I got a little honey To help me sing the harmonies I feel the radio needs a lot of good songs And there's a song inside of me [Chorus] You don't have to be a country boy to sing a country song You don't need the rhinestone cowboy outfit to feel that you belong You don't have to look like Elvis Or wear a cowboy hat Roy Clark, Buck Owens, and Johnny Rodriguez are Living proof of that [VERSE 2] Barbi Benton used to be the cover girl in the Playboy magazine She had the prettiest eyes and the prettiest smile I think that I've ever seen She went on down to Nashville and got herself a part on a TV show And now the DJ's have taken Barbi off their walls And they put her on the radio [Chorus] You don't have to be a country boy to sing a country song You don't need the rhinestone cowboy outfit to feel that you belong You don't have to look like Elvis Or wear a cowboy hat Roy Clark, Buck Owens, and Johnny Rodriguez are Living proof of that [VERSE 3] Now every week you can see me singing On the Grand Ole Opry show With stars like Charley Pride, Webb Pierce, Glen Campbell, and Hank Snow I'd like to thank my fans and friends who all believed in me [PRE-Chorus] You see, my record goes to number one next week It's made a country star of me [FINAL Chorus] So, you don't have to be a country boy to sing a country song You don't need the rhinestone cowboy outfit to feel that you belong You don't have to look like Elvis Or wear a cowboy hat
