Some well-meaning people are trying to change us
Saying we've been too country too long
They tell me from now the world is progressed
But I won't sell out for a song
I grew up when Roy and ET and Kitty
And Lefty and Hank were the rage
It was good enough then so it's good enough now
Cause the good wine gets better with age
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
What's wrong with fiddles and steels
What's wrong with telling the world that you're country
That's how you really do feel
Let's not make it different just let's make it better
It's gotten us about till now
What I am what I am and I'm proud that I am
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
Well the sad thing about it is all of the fans
Who would laugh to hear country but can't
But most of those stations ain't fooling nobody
When they call themselves country but ain't
So please Mr DJ I'm proud to be country
Whether concert or honky tonk joints
Well give this a listen and if you won't play it
My friend you're just proving the point
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
What's wrong with fiddles and steels
What's wrong with telling the world that you're country
That's how you really do feel
Let's not make it different just let's make it better
It's gotten us about till now
What I am what I am and I'm proud that I am
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
