The Way Life Use to Be

Lyrics

I don't know how to fight; I don't know how to chew
But if you want to hear some honky-tonk I'll sing it for you.
I don't care much about the thing called western ware
But if you want to know what Country's about I'll take you there.

It's a song with a little yodel you can quit plainly see
It's a voice with a cry for the way life use to be
It's a song with a little yodel you can quit plainly see
It's a voice with a cry for the way life use to be

But if you want the guns and fights that's not for me
I save all my strength for when it counts that's a when my baby's free
I take them back to my house and pick up my guitar
And I play that love some honky-tonk you'll never hear at the bar

It's a song with a little yodel you can quit plainly see
It's a voice with a cry for the way life use to be
It's a song with a little yodel you can quit plainly see
It's a voice with a cry for the way life use to be
