What This Country Needs Lyrics

What This Country Needs lyrics

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.
