A Walking Country Song
By David Snyder

V1

Throwin’ chairs off of a Nashville roof
Cause I’m drinkin’ little 100 proof
You know I’m grinning in a baseball cap
I wear it backwards cause you like it like that
Cause I ain’t classy but it’s how I roll
I’m the one they never could control


CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

V2

Got a mullet in my mugshot yo
I’ll post some bail and then I’ll skip parole
I’m wearing handcuffs but I’m breaking  loose
Then I’m gonna love you while I’m wearing my boots
Sometimes it seems like I can do no wrong
No matter what I do they always sing along

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


Bridge

Yeah I drink too much
Yeah I talk too much
But girl you’re so damn smokin’
That you’re hot to the touch

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


V3

I was caught buck naked but I'm not in jail
I was caught buck naked and I'm raising hell
And I was born spoiled rotten
If you can't tell

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

Outro

And I can write a hit
Write it like this
And every song sounds the same
But I’m staying strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

WALKING COUNTRY SONG

THE ONE WHO SET US FREE

V1

We all need
Someone to believe in
We all need someone we can trust
We all need someone to hold onto
When the world outside turns to rust

CH

But I don’t put my trust in
Anyone on this earth
Because most folks down here
Are just too much like me
So I only put my hope in
Only put my faith in
The one who set us free

V2

We all need someone we can count on
When we can barely climb the stairs
We all need someone to defend us to the end
When no one else even seems to care

CH

But I don’t put my trust in
Anyone on this earth
Because most folks down here
Are just too much like me
So I only put my hope in
Only put my faith in
The one who set us free

Bridge

So even when my heart’s completely shattered 
I’ll just keep knocking on heaven’s door

CH

And I don’t put my trust in
Anyone on this earth
Because most folks down here
Are just too much like me
So I only put my hope in
Only put my faith in
The one who set us free
