The Perfect Country Song
(A 1) I'd like to be the one to write the perfect country song With a melody to fill my mind and hang there all day long Move feelings both of tears and joy watch others sing along I'd like to write the perfect country song…
(B 1) I'd write about old memories and bring back days gone by And to the the one's who had it all and lost it 'cause of pride I'd sing about the children who love clowns & pony rides Momma's kissing Daddy's and lovers telling lies
(A2) I'd like to be the one to write the perfect country song Have a legacy that stays around long after I'm gone Inspiration for a lifetime to everyone I've known I'd like to write the perfect country song…
(B 2) I'll sing about America where liberty is found Earned by the son's who went to war and laid their young lives down Of miracles and charity and being heaven bound Of Mountain tops and prairies and friends in my home town Bridge I remember ole Tom T and all the things he loves And Willie warning mom's about guitars and pick-up trucks I could go forever naming George or Cash or Buck like Tammy standing by her man I'm never givin' up
A (3) Now every perfect country song has got to pass a test It has to carry on become the anthem to a quest Like some paintings grow in value after artists cross in death I'd like to write the perfect country song [Modulate]
A (2) I'd like to be the one to write the perfect country song A have a legacy that stays around long after I'm gone Inspiration for a lifetime to everyone I've known I'd like to write the perfect country song… (repeat) Here's to everybody just like me who spent their whole life long Tryin' to write the perfect country song…
