Three Chord Country Song    (1980)

Don't you dare put a quarter in the jukebox
If you don't intend to play a country song
When you punch those buttons just make sure it's Merle or Moe or Willie
Someone that I can cry with all night long

Now, it's not that I don't like the jazz on Bourbon Street
And it's not that I don't care for rock and roll
But tonight I'm in the mood for country music
Just a heart-breaking three-chord country song

No other kind of music tells a story
Like Lonesome 7-7203
And The Key's In The Mailbox paints a picture in my mind
Cause I keep hoping she'll come back to me

And it's not that I don't like the jazz on Bourbon Street
And it's not that I don't care for rock and roll
But tonight I'm in the mood for country music
Just a heart-breaking three-chord country song

Play a heart-breaking three-chord country song

Lyrics by Danny and Red Steagall.
