Outlaws and Lone Star Beer — текст песни (C.W. Mccall)

(Bob Duncan, Jeff Durrill)

Well, they`re rompin` down in Austin
And they call it "Western Swing"
They even wrote a song that says
"Bob Wills is still the king"
Well that I can agree with
But this much I declare
There`s more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer

From Tennessee to Texas,
They say it`s all the same
Well, there`s no "T" in Nashville,
But we`ve got our claim to fame
It`s called The House That Hank Built
And it`s sacred, Lord, I swear
There`s more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer

Well, there`s more to country music
Than the hurtin` side a` life
Like takin` pride in fam`ly
And a good, warm, lovin` wife
There`s more to country music
Than to leave somebody cryin`
And the cheatin`
And the lyin`

Now brothers, understand me
I don`t put nobody down
`Cause we all know with what you do
Well you`re the best around
But as I stand to cheer you
I`ll make my feelin`s clear:
There`s more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer
Yeah, there`s more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer
