Song Lyrics

When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late
And when I need to feel good in my skin
I drop everything and run to him
When nothin' makes sense but I need to talk
That's when I call my mom

But I wanna write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word divorce got really real
My first year in Nashville
Maybe it's 'cause of my raisin'
Or what my parents were playin'
But when I feel my heart breakin'
No hesitation

I go and write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck
Real life, that's the stuff, yeah
First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups
My life, that's what

Makes me write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And now I'm out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it's right or wrong
It gets me every time
Story of my life
There ain't nothin' like
A country song

('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)
Yeah (real life, that's the stuff, yeah)
A country song
(First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups)
(My life, that's what) yeah
