The radio is playing but it makes feel like crying
When it sings of broken people dreaming dreams that can't come true
Lemme hear about homefolks and some lovin' without lyin'
Doin' a hard day's work just like me and you

We need a little more country in them country songs
A little more right a little less wrong
A few less lonely sittin' in the bars
A few more loves underneath the stars
A little more sunlight a little less rain
And a few more happy homes
And a little more country in them country songs

[ steel ]
The world is goin' crazy and I'm just one step behind it
Of the music that it's making sounds cold and sad to me
If there's country in that music Lord I just can't seem to find it
It's just a broken heart with a melody

We need a little more country in them country songs...
Oh we need a little more country in them country songs
