A Real Life Country Song

One, two, three, four

I went looking for trouble just outside of Austin, Texas

I got myself a gig out there at South by Southwest

Oh, the festival had finished, I headed out of town

To find the America the songs all sing about

And I always wanted to write a real-life country song

With honky tonks and barroom fights, true love that went wrong

I'll wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back

I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat

So I gathered up my greenback and hit the local bars

I met this stripper named Juliet with a really fancy car

We drove down the I-45, smoking cigarettes

Drinking cheap-ass whiskey, talking 'bout all our regrets

And I always wanted to write a real-life country song

With slide guitar, harmonica, and a dusty old banjo

I'll wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back

I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat

One thing country songs will teach you that turns out to be true

Is if you go looking for trouble, son, trouble will find you

We crashed a car, had a run-in with the law we only just escaped

Now I'm singing for my supper on the Corpus Christi bay

And I always wanted to write a real-life country song

With slide guitar, harmonica, and a dusty old banjo

I'll wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back

I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat

Yeehaw

That was the one

Sweet
