I Let A Damn Good Woman Leave

Get Back Home


Too Country (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse 
I got a friend
He's from Nashville
I called him on the phone
Said I wrote a country song
When he heard it
He said you've got skill
But here's the thing
Don't you know

PRE-CHORUS 
Right now
Country songs
They can't sound
Too country

CHORUS 
But that's like having a truck
That don't haul nothing
Or a hunting dog
That don't like hunting
The only proper way
To write a good country song
Sing it from your heart
Till the heartbroken sing along
You gotta make it too country

Verse
You gotta feel the hurt
When he stopped loving her
You gotta know the joy
When she's in love with the boy
Raise a glass
To whiskey river
And let your babies
Grow to be cowboys

PRE-CHORUS 
Right now
Country songs
They need to sound
A lot more country

CHORUS 
Otherwise, you've got a truck
That don't haul nothing
And a hunting dog
That don't like hunting
The only proper way
To write a good country song
Sing it from your heart
Till the heartbroken sing along
You gotta make it too country


CHORUS 2
I don't want a truck
That don't haul nothing
And I need a dog
That loves to go hunting
I want to hear a damn good country song
So me and my heartbroken friends can sing along
It's gotta be too country
It's gotta be too country


Cause I'm just
When the sun goes down
On my side of town
Too country

The three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” has bolstered 26 No. One hits, 15 billion streams and more than 20 million albums sold as "he has blended his own recipe and it’s one that has vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success,” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). Notably, seven of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified PLATINUM or more and he has the most Top 10 song on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, more than any other artists, since making his chart debut in 2005. He continues to be one of a card-carrying member of Country's elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status as his shows are "filled with the perfect mix of rockin’ anthems and raucous drinkin’ songs," (Herald Extra) Aldean will gear up for the road this summer with his ROCK N’ ROLL COWBOY TOUR as the 34-city trek will launch July 15th in Scranton, PA, with special guests Gabby Barrett, John Morgan and Dee Jay Silver. The multi-Platinum singer has also founded Wolf Moon Bourbon, an 80 proof bourbon that has been distilled from Midwestern grains and aged for four years offering a finish of caramel, oak and spice.
