[Verse 1]When I need to put my feet back on the groundI go back to my hometownWhen I need a night to act my ageMe and my friends stay out too lateAnd when I need to feel good in my skinI drop everything and run to himWhen nothin' makes sense, but I need to talkThat's when I call my mom[Chorus]But I wanna write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd I'm almost out of wineWhen I get so lonesome, my truth gets told someWhether it's right or wrongI stay up all night, done it my whole lifeSometimes, you've gotta write a country song[Verse 2]Got me through the drama with my exThe first time that I had sexThe day the word "divorce" got really realMy first year in NashvilleMaybe it's 'cause of my raisin' or what my parents were playin'Or when I feel my heart breakin', no hesitation[Chorus]I go and write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd I'm almost out of wineWhen I get so lonesome, my truth gets told someWhether it's right or wrongI stay up all night, done it my whole lifeSometimes, you've gotta write a country song[Bridge]'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truckReal life, that's the stuff, yeahFirst kiss, last car, bad breakin' upsMy life, that's what[Chorus]Makes me write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd now I'm out of wineWhen I get so lonesome, my truth gets told someWhether it's right or wrongGets me every time, story of my lifeThere ain't nothin' like a country song[Outro]('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)Yeah (Real life, that's the stuff, yeah)A country song (First kiss, last car, bad breakin' ups)(My life, that's what) Hey
