lyrics

Well music today
ain't what it used to be
from country to punk rock, the same.
Good Charlotte plays too many chords
and Toby Keith couldn't cry in his beer.
Heard a song on the radio I didn't know
and they called it hit number one.
I shook my head and I turned it off
and now I got a hole in my dash,
'Cause I'm a punk rock kid in a country band
singing songs to the honky tonk crowd
Well I play it real loud and I sing it real proud
'cause I know that punk rock is dead.
My daddy grew up in them good ol' days
when they played on them silver strings.
When they shot them guns
and they drove them trucks,
and, yes, they cried in their beers.
Willie, Hank, and old Johnny Cash
are rebels, just the same
Even though they wore that cowboy hot
well they're more punk rock than me.
'Cause I'm a punk rock kid in a country band
singing songs to the honky tonk crowd
Well I play it real loud and I sing it real proud
'cause I know that punk rock is dead.
