a country song - ballerini album version

When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late

And when I need to feel good in my skin
I drop everything and run to him
When nothin′ makes sense, but I need to talk
That’s when I call my mom

But I wanna write a country song
When nothin′s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin’ somethin′ strong
And I′m almost out of wine

When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it’s right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word divorce got really real
All these years in Nashville

Maybe it′s ‘cause of my raisin′
Or what my parents were playin’
But when I feel my heart breakin′
No hesitation

I go and write a country song
When nothin’s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin′ somethin′ strong
And I’m almost out of wine

When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it′s right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

About love, ‘bout lies, ′bout my baby’s truck
Real life, that′s the stuff

That makes a country song
When nothin’s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin′ somethin′ strong
And now I’m out of wine

When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some
Whether it′s right or wrong
It gets me every time
Story of my life
There ain’t nothin′ like
A country song

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, yeah
