Story Behind The Song
After seeing the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" I felt inspired to write a song in the same vein as "Honky-tonk Girl" only with a message of Peace.
Song Description
Reminiscent of the old music from Buck Owens and the Buckaroos this song brings back memories of times past. It also speaks of nonviolence.

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
