Old Country - New Country Songtext
von The Bellamy Brothers

Well, I walked into the honky-tonk, with that jukebox, blarin loud
There was some rednecks, and some hippies, and some business types about
And the topic was country music, and then a bar room fight, broke out
So, I jumped up on the bandstand sayin′, let's clear up all this doubt

Yeah, do you want old country, or do you want new country?
Are ya tied in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah, do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way, I′m fine, but don't waste my time, make up your damn mind

Well, a friend of mine played bass one time, tried to sing like old Hag
Till he finally had to quit his gig, 'cause his wife did nothin, but nag
He said, "Boy, things ain′t what they used to be"
"We argue every day"
"I want to listen to Kitty Wells, she loves Billy Ray"


Yeah, do you want old country, or do you want new country?
Are ya tied in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah, do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way, I′m fine, but don't waste my time, make up your damn mind

I guess, we′re never gonna settle this argument, so, I ain't gonna even try
Some of this stuff I hear these days, makes me break right down and cry
So, I′ll put in, my two cents worth, and I hope it's understood
Don′t worry, if country's old or new, just worry 'bout it bein′ good

Yeah, do you want old country, or do you want new country?
Are ya tied in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way, I′m fine, but don't waste my time, make up your damn mind

Yeah, do you want old country, or do you want new country?
Are ya tied in the wool country; red, white and blue country?
Yeah, do you like steel guitars, rock and roll and girls and cars?
Either way, I′m fine, but don't waste my time, make up your damn mind
