Lyrics
Simple Country Song
© 1995 Gene Castelli
V1
This ain?t a song about a gambling man or a woman that?s been led astray
It ain?t a song about losing your job or how you earn your pay
This ain?t a song about moonshine, or whiskey or an iced cold bottle of beer
Now that I?m thinking, while I?m singing, that?s not such a bad idea
V2
It ain?t a song about a love gone bad or a man down on his luck
It ain?t a song about a dog that died or cruising in a pick up truck
This ain?t a song about taking a walk on a moonlit summer night
It ain?t about this, it ain?t about that its just about feeling all right
CHORUS
It?s just a simple feel good country song with a feel good country beat
The kind of song that makes you snap your finger, makes you want to tap your feet
I kept it real simple, I like it like that and it doesn?t have a lot to say
But if it makes you feel good to listen along, well, then you?ve made my day
V3
It ain?t a song about a gambling man or a hustler playing pool
It ain?t a song about two people in love or a broken hearted fool
It ain?t about black, it ain't about white, or brown, yellow or red
Forget all that crap, just kick your feet crap and clear all them thoughts from your head
CHORUS
V4
One last verse to fill it out and wondering what to do
You?ve been so kind to listen along so I?ll write this one for you
So here?s another chorus, I kept it real simple so that you can sing along
Just yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo and you just can?t go wrong
Yippee-yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yippee-yi-yo
It?s a simple little ditty that?s easy to sing and you can take where ever you go
Yippee-yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yippee-yi-ya
If you?re looking for meaning in all of this mess, here?s what I?ve got to say
(Yodeling)
