about

This track was written in a cow pasture.

lyrics

I’ve got a week’s hard work sinkin’ into my bones
But here in this valley no one suffers alone
We’re all flat broke just like we’ve always been
Ah, but we’ve got big hearts a-beatin’ so broke doesn’t make us mean

Well you walk right up to the bar, stranger and then you sit
And order something so goddamned expensive, bar tender’s never heard of it
Then you start talkin’ to me, ‘bout all the nice things you’ve got
Well you’re making the wrong moves, mister; a good woman can’t be bought

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
And buy this bar another round
This place is packed full of hard-working people
This ain’t Hollywood, it’s a small farm town
And we don’t need no limousines to have our bad selves a real good time
Well if you want to dance with one of us girls, you’d better get in line

From the top of that brand-new Stetson hat
To the tips of those genuine cowboy boots
You look like the kind of man
Who’s never known the blues
This town has seen hard times and battles lost
But there’s nothing like our fruit pies, sugar snaps or applesauce

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
And buy this bar another round
This place is packed full of hard-working people
This ain’t Hollywood, it’s a small farm town
And we don’t need no caviar to have our bad selves a real good time
Well if you want to dance with one of us girls, you’d better get in line

Well you won’t impress anyone around here, if you don’t know how to hoe a roe
Or drive that old John Deere or dig a three-foot hole
If you think those nice clothes will get you anywhere
You’d better make your way back to the city and chew off someone else’s ear

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
And buy this bar another round
This place is packed full of hard-working people
This ain’t Hollywood, it’s a small farm town
And we don’t need no Champaign to have our bad selves a real good time
Well if you want to dance with one of us girls, you’d better get in line
