Claude King - He Ain't Country lyrics

He ain't country Rock and roll singer That's what I used to be Then I heard some country music And it got a hold on me So I went and listened To a good ole country band And I sang me a country song 'Bout a woman leaving a man Put my guitar down And I turned to walk away When walking from the band stand I heard someone say [Chorus:] He ain't country He wasn't there with us He wasn't there when them goin' got rough He ain't country Don't remember him He didn't eat them beans And wear them jeans He didn't pick and grin with us I went to my record shop And I know what I must do By some record made by Hank And listen for a month or two Then I bought a guitar And I practiced day and night Then I headed out for Nashville Everything gonna be alright There I sang my country song Happy as can be Then I heard somebody say This boy don't look country to me [Chorus] Well then my country record Become a great big hit And I'm traveling all over the country Given them girls a fit Met a rock and roller He sat in with my band He said he wants to be country And to be just like I am He broke down his guitar And turned to walk away I turned to the band I had to grin at what i had to say [Chorus]
