C/G F C/G
You call us heathens with zero respect for the law

We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that’s all

If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
G C/G
Why don’t you write your own songs

C/G G C/G
And don’t listen to mine,they might run you crazy

They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long

We’re making you rich and you’re already lazy
G C/G
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
Verse 2 (W. Jennings):

Mr. Purified Country don’t you know what the whole things about
G
Is your head up your ass so far that you can’t pull it out

And if you can’t see that Mr. Purified Country
G C/G
Why don’t you just write your own songs

So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
