Country Song

Country Song

There ain’t no git up in my get along
That’s why I wrote this country song
And even though I don’t really know why
It makes all the cowgirls cry
There ain’t no git up in my get along
I hope to find some in this song
60 years have come and gone
I never wrote this kind of song
Now as the sun sets on the mountains
And the sky is turning red
I am following up on a promise
I once made to a dear old friend
I will write a country song
But not until I’m almost gone
Now I don’t know much about hauling hay
Or getting up at the crack of day
And Mr. Ed is the horse I know
Not birthing calves at live stock shows
Now cowboy up means nothing to me
Saddle sores I never wanna see
I am just doing my best doing what I can
To keep a promise once made man to man
There ain’t no git up in my get along
That’s why I wrote this country song
And even though I don’t really know why
It makes all the cowgirls cry
There ain’t no git up in my get along
I hope to find some in this song
Now that I’ve done what I said would
I hope you’re pleased and smiling down
You know this ain’t easy for me to say
But I really miss you in a special way
You did a lot but you did not know
You could bring peace to my troubled soul
There ain’t no git up in my get along
That’s why I wrote this country song
And even though I don’t really know why
It makes all the cowgirls cry
There ain’t no git up in my get along
I hope to find some in this song
