Jonathan East - Hillbilly Music Lyrics

I ain’t ever been too big on Michael Jackson
Brittany Spears, she just don’t turn me on
And I don’t give a damn about some longhaired cover band
When all they play is old top forty songs
I never could get down to hip- hop music
Hell, I can’t tell Fifty-Cent, from Dr. Dre’
I never picked a Fender Telecaster
‘Til I heard old Waylon Jennings play.

(Chorus)
And Lord, I love that ol’ hillbilly music
Blaring out like Folsom Prison Blues
Sung to me by some ol’ drunken’ cowboy
Who’s down on luck and ain’t got much to lose
You can say what you want about their living
All the money and the cocaine they went through
But, Lord, I love that ol’ hillbilly music
Just like all them Outlaws used to do.

Now, I’ve caught a couple bands in California
Head banging in them heavy metal bars
I couldn’t understand a word ‘cause the only thing I heard
Was off beat drums and out of tune guitars
Now, I’ve met some real hot pickers up in Nashville
They got muscle shirts and ear rings in their ear
Bleached out hair and Abercrombie flip flops
As far as I’m concerned they all look queer.

(Repeat Chorus)

Now, I still love to hear Hank Williams Jr.
And I still like ol’ David Allen Coe
And I’ve always been a fan of that Charlie Daniels Band
‘Cause them ol’ boys can still put on a show.

(Repeat Chorus)

Just like all them Outlaws used to do.
