Jessi Alexander Damn Country Music Lyrics

Verse 1]
I packed it all on a whim
Threw an old Hank cassette tape in
Dad's '84 rusty Ford
He swore we'd never make it
I quit my job, let my momma down
Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town
Pulled my roots from the ground for

[Chorus 1]
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
Damn country music

[Verse 2]
You might get lost in the lights
And things that keep you up all night
It's whiskey straight 'till three AM
Singing songs in your head
It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows
It's needing "yes" but hearing "no" Just another soul sold, believe me, I know it's

[Chorus 2]
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It'll take you, it'll break you
It'll damn sure make you do things you never thought you'd be doing
Damn country music

[Bridge]
When the money and the fame
The lights on your name
They all fade away
Yeah, you'll still be a slave to

[Chorus 1]
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
Damn country music, yeah
Damn country music
Damn country music
