(written by Justin Tubb)
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
And 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
So let's don't make it different let's just make it better
It's gotten us bout for now
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 part about is all of the fans
Who would laugh to hear country and can't
And most of those stations ain't foolin' 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
So give this a listen and if you won't play it
My friend you're just provin' the point
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now...
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
Well it s twenty years later and it s not that much better
But the problem is differnt this time
Cause the powers that be, they all keep tellin me
That we re too old and way past our time
So let s don t make it different , let s just make it better
It s gotton us by until now
I am what i am and i m proud that i am
What s wrong with the way that we re doin it now
