what this country needs þarký sözü

if i was runnin´ this country
i´d start it over from scratch
keep what´s good, pile up what´s bad
and then i´d strike the match
yeah, we´d go back to the basics
of how things ought to be
yeah, 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 litte fiddle right in the middle
straight out of a texas bar
and give us a song, we can all sing along
from sea to shining sea
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
you can take it for what it´s worth
´cause what this country needs
is a little more steel guitar
and put a litte fiddle right in the middle
straight out of a texas bar
and give us a song, we can all sing along
from sea to shining sea
be proud of it and always love it
that´s what this country needs
yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out
across the land of the free
they ought to build a statue of hand williams, sr.
in washington, d.c.
´cause what this country needs
is a little more steel guitar
yeah and put a sawin´ fiddle right square in the middle
straight out of a texas bar
and ya´ll give us a song, we can all sing along
from sea to shining sea
be proud of it and always love it
that´s what this country needs
you just be proud of it and always love it
and that´s what this country needs.
