Oughta Be More Songs About... Songtext

von Montgomery Gentry

I've heard a million country songs
'Bout love gone wrong, good times, and crazy women
And I've sung about tractors
Trucks, fast cars, and small town living
And I'd love to hear a band that rocks
And words that make you stop
And think about family
If you ask me
Oughta be more songs about that old man
Who worked hard all his life
Then Wall Street broke his NASDAQ
Now he can't afford to die
And more songs about forgivin'
And other things that I believe in like Jesus
And lettin' him back in class
Oughta be more songs
Oughta be more songs about that
I like me a good old cheatin' song
In a honky tonk with cold beer and a buddy
And I like to sing just as I am
With a congregation and a little church to come some day
And I love to dance a slow dance
To a love song with my baby
And the lights down low
Yeah, but we all know
There oughta be more songs about them angles
Volunteerin' at the mission
Fixing food for the homeless
And givin' toys to needy children
And more songs about those soilders whose war is never over
Who made it home but never quite came back
Oughta be more songs
Oughta be more songs 'bout that
Oughta be more songs about us common folk
Puttin' in 8 days a week
And burning both ends of the candle
Just tryin' to make ends meet
And more songs about them singers
Who paved this road I'm on
Some gone but not forgotten
Some still goin' strong
There's Waylon, Hank, my daddy, and the man in black
Oughta be more songs about that
More songs, more songs about that
More songs, more songs about that
