When I need to put my feet back on the groundI go back to my hometownWhen I need a night to act my ageMe and my friends stay out too lateAnd when I need to feel good in my skinI drop everything and run to himWhen nothin' makes sense but I need to talkThat's when I call my momBut I wanna write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd I'm almost out of wineWhen I get so lonesomeMy truth gets told some whether it's right or wrongI stay up all nightDone it my whole lifeSometimes you gotta writeA country songGot me through the drama with my exThe first time that I had sexThe day the word divorce got really realMy first year in NashvilleMaybe it's cause of my raisin'What my parents were playin'But when I feel my heart breakin'No hesitationI go and write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd I'm almost out of wineWhen I get so lonesomeMy truth gets told some whether it's right or wrongI stay up all nightDone it my whole lifeSometimes you gotta writeA country songAbout love, about lies, about my baby's truckReal life, that's the stuffYeah first kiss, last call, bad breakin' upsMy life, that's whatMakes me write a country songWhen nothin's gentle on my mindAnd I'm needin' somethin' strongAnd now I'm out of wineWhen I get so lonesomeMy truth gets told some whether it's right or wrongIt gets me every timeStory of my lifeThere ain't nothin' likeA country songAbout love, about lies, about my baby's truckReal life, that's the stuffA country songFirst kiss, last call, bad breakin' upsMy life that's what
