If it Ain't Broke

Well, the radio is playing an unfamiliar song

The DJ calls it country but hell I don't know it at all

One thing that's for certain, and I think old

Hank would agree

That sure don't sound like country to me

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it

If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard

like Ernest Tubb had from the start

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well, nowadays in Nashville, it's like the Hollywood of the South

so-called country singers singing songs they know nothing about

Swimming pools and fancy cars, dating big-time movie stars

Well, that don't sound like country to me Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it

If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard like George Jones had from the start

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well, my grandpa sat down and he told me about ten years ago said if you wanna play country music, boy,

you better have a lot of soul but he came up from Kentucky, and he passed

it down to me

And this here sure as hell sounds country

to me

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it

If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings

Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk hard like old Paycheck had from the start

If it ain't broke, don't fix it If it ain't broke, don't fix it
