What This Country Needs Lyrics - Singles - Aaron Tippin

If I was runnin' this country 

I'd start it over from scratch 

Keep what's good an' pile up what's bad 

And then I'd strike the match 

Yea, we'd go back to the basics 

Of how things ought to be 

Yea, there'd be a lot of changes 

If it was left up to me 

'Cause what this country needs 

Is a little more steel guitar 

And put a little fiddle right in the middle 

Straight out of a Texas bar 

And give us a song we can all sing along 

From sea to shinin' sea 

Yea, be proud of it and always love it 

That's what this country needs 

Now if you want to hear about livin' 

Just twist that radio dial 

'Til you come to a singer singin' 

What life is all about 

'Cause you can't deny that people still cry 

They laugh and they smile and they hurt 

And that's my humble opinion y'all 

An' you can take it for what it's worth 

'Cause what this country needs 

Is a little more steel guitar 

And put a little fiddle right in the middle 

Straight out of a Texas bar 

And give us a song we can all sing along 

From sea to shinin' sea 

Be proud of it and always love it 

That's what this country needs 

Yea, turn it on up and let it ring out 

Across the land of the free 

They ought to build a statue of the Hank Williams Senior 

In Washington, D.C 

'Cause what this country needs 

Is a little more steel guitar 

And put a saw an' fiddle right square in the middle 

Straight out of a Texas bar 

And yo, give us a song, we can all sing along 

From sea to shinin' sea 

Yea, be proud of it an' always love it 

That's what this country needs 

You just be proud of it an' always love it 

That's what this country needs
