Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I've been hanging out with my Rebel son Kid Rock And I don't really like this stuff they call Hip-Hop But he's sure been good to me And I'm still trying to make him see In country music, you just can't say the 'F' word My son Shelton says he's been having a hard time Yeah, he does great shows but he's just gotta speak his own mind Well, I wonder where that came from? I guess he's a real son of a gun Take the old man's advice, be nice, and lose the 'F' word [Chorus] No, no, in country music, you just can't say the 'F' word Oh, we've come a long way but it's best if that one's not heard Oh, we've had some hells and damns But we don't say "bitch," we say, "Why, yes ma'am." 'Cause in country music, you just don't use the 'F' word [Verse 2] Today's hot new country, it sounds pretty good to me But it's time for basics, our roots and some reality You gotta scrape me off of the ceiling When Mrs. Hawkins says it with feeling But in country music, you just can't say the 'F' word [Chorus] No, no, in country music, you just don't use the 'F' word Oh, we've come a long way but it's best if that one's not heard Oh, we've had some hells and damns But we would never say that, we'd say, "Why, yes ma'am." 'Cause in country music, we just don't use the 'F' word [Outro] Some of these guys say it five hundred times But in country music you don't use it one damn line Oh, in country music, we don't say the 'F' word
