Lyrics

That?s The Stuff

Verse
Hound dogs, honkey tonks, longhorn Cadillac?s
Snakeskin boots, western suits, & Stetson cowboy hats
Heart-achin?, heartbreakin', everlasting love
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of

Verse
Pick up trucks, buckskin bucks, & pretty doe eyed fillies
Who talk like they walked off the set of the Beverly Hillbillies
Whisky, wine & doing time with cases of bad luck
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of

Chorus
It ain't hip ? It ain?t square - it ain?t going anywhere
It?s a tried & true tradition ? if ever one there was (recepie)
A pinch of fact ? a dash of fiction - a little twang in the mix
Above that Nashville sound that we all know & love
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of

Verse
Rodeodeodeos & spurs that jingle jangle
Dancers doing dosedoes ? lost in love triangles
Wrangler jeans & faded dreams & if that ain?t enough ??..

Bridge
We got? Small towns, Saturday nights - wedding Gowns & bar room fights
No goodin two-timing two-steppers talking tough
Closing time, twirling skirts - pick up lines & shameless flirts
Rhinestones, broken bones & unrequited lust
Rural routes, apple pies - homemade booze & alibis
& Oh so many diamonds in the rough

Homecoming queens - football stars - tambourines & slide guitars
Hard working simple folks trying to make an honest buck
2/4 time & perfect rhyme - staff-writers working overtime
Who ain?t in it for the money but the love
Cause they got songwriting in their blood
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of

Chorus
It ain't hip ? It ain?t square - it ain?t going anywhere
It?s a tried & true tradition ? that wasn?t just made up (recepie)
A pinch of fact ? a dash of fiction - a little twang in the mix
Above that Nashville sound that we all know & love
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of
That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff - That?s the stuff ? Country songs are made of
