We are the black haired girls, with the streaks of red Ten thousand sky blue seats, in an open air shed Hearing that thunder bass drum kick, as the amplifiers scream We are the neon midnight rides, on a field of broken dreams Long as the good lord's willin' and the creed don't rise Beer needs chillin' and the baby cries Hearts get shot by Cupid's arrow The road to heaven is straight and narrow Long as there's sawdust on that old dance floor Love still hides behind closed doors Steel guitars keep on ringin' Wellin' and Willie keep on singin' You can swing it, you can sway it, you can bet we'll keep on playin' Long as the wheel in the sky still turns We are country and western Country and western The sundress girls, in the cowboy boots The Wall Street guy, with that Neil McCoy tattoo Back road buck and merle, traditionalist Whole lot of love and never been kissed Story tellers, city dwellers Pour on the floor with fine wine cellars Spreadin' those blankets on the lawn Bucket of suds singin' Long as the good lord's willin' and the creed don't rise Beer needs chillin' and the baby cries Hearts get shot by Cupid's arrow The road to heaven is straight and narrow Long as there's sawdust on that old dance floor Love still hides behind closed doors Steel guitars keep on ringin' Wellin' and Willie keep on singin' You can swing it, you can sway it, you can bet we'll keep on playin' Long as the wheel in the sky still turns We are country and western We're all country and western We're northern and southern Sisters and brothers Boulder City down to Mississippi Vegas lights to Atlantic City, yeah Long as there's sawdust on that old dance floor Love still hides behind closed doors Steel guitars keep on ringin' Wellin' and Willie keep on singin' You can swing it, you can sway it, you can bet we'll keep on playin' Long as the wheel in the sky still turns We are country and western Fiddlin' strings in the boombox, baby We're all country and western Hip-hop flattops and flip-flop beat We're all country and western Two-way roads to the city streets We're all country and western Back in the beta, baby, just a little more sweet We are country and western *
