When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late
And when I need to feel good in my skin

I drop everything and run to him
When nothin´ makes sense, but I need to talk
That´s when I call my mom

But I wanna write a country song
When nothin´s gentle on my mind
And I´m needin´ somethin´ strong
And I´m almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it´s right or wrong
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write a country song

Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word "divorce" got really real
My first year in Nashville
Maybe it´s ´cause of my raisin´ or what my parents were playin´

Or when I feel my heart breakin´, no hesitation

I go and write a country song
When nothin´s gentle on my mind
And I´m needin´ somethin´ strong
And I´m almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it´s right or wrong
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write a country song

´Bout love, ´bout lies, ´bout my baby´s truck
Real life, that´s the stuff, yeah
First kiss, last car, bad breakin´ ups
My life, that´s what

Makes me write a country song
When nothin´s gentle on my mind

And I´m needin´ somethin´ strong
And now I´m out of wine
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets wholesome
Whether it´s right or wrong
Gets me every time, story of my life
There ain´t nothin´ like a country song

(´Bout love, ´bout lies, ´bout my baby´s truck)
Yeah (Real life, that´s the stuff, yeah)
A country song (First kiss, last car, bad breakin´ ups)
(My life, that´s what) Hey
