Well, I’m a country singer
and I play a fast guitar
Never made the big time
just move from bar to bar
Been from here to heartache
searching for the price of fame
but a thousand dusty bar rooms
can wear your life away
CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights
Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die
Now, when I was a young man
and the world was at my feet
everything I hoped for
seemed just within my reach
but a taste for other women
and a drink or two too much
left me empty handed
all run out of luck
CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights
Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die
From Jackson Hole to Reno
Vegas to LA
I may not be a legend
when I get up and play
But I’m every country singer
in every one horse town
and I’ll ride the same old circuit
‘till the honky tonks close down
CHORUS
I’m a country singer
I don’t ask why
just sing for the way I feel
underneath the lights
Like a rollin’ river
Like a blue mornin’ sky
I’ll be a country singer
until the day I die
