I'm Gonna Go Country

about

Alt. country performer = failed punk rocker?

lyrics

Now I’m forty I’m gonna go country
Gotta change if I want to survive
Now I’m forty I’m gonna go country
Coz you can’t be a rocker when you’re over thirty-five
Now I’m forty I’m gonna go country
I know it’s gonna be so good for my soul
Now I’m forty I’m gonna go country
I’m getting too old for rock and roll

You can’t cling to the old ways
When old age is setting in
There’s no way you can boogie
When your arse is in a sling

My friends used to like punk music
Had green hair and a snotty attitude
Smash the State and screw the system
Now they’ve found a new rectitude
They’ve got string ties and cowboy boots
Amish threads and long black suits
They drive around in pick-ups or utes
They drink whiskey and know how to shoot

You know you can’t cling to the old ways
When old age is setting in
There’s no way you can boogie
When your arse is in a sling
So I’m buying a Stetson
I’m gonna wear it with pride
And I’ll sing Hank Williams’ praises
Till the day I die
