eaAd of people actually telling their stories, you got a bunch of millionaire metrosexuals that have never done a hard day's work in their lives. But they figured out the words and the phrases that they can use to pander to their audience. And they list the same words and phrases off, sort of mad-lib style, raking in millions of dollars from actual working-class people. You know the words, you know know the phrases, phrases like:DA dirt road
AA cold beer
GA blue jeans
AA red pickup
DA rural noun,A simple adjectivGe A
DNo shoes
ANo shirt
GNo Jews
AYou didn't hear that D
Sort of a mental typo A G
[Pre-Chorus]
BmI walk and talk like a Afield hand
GBut the boots I'm wearing cost three grand
BmI write songs about riding Gtractors
From the Acomfort of a private Djet
[Chorus]
DI can sing in Mandarin
AAnd still know I'm pandering
BmHunting deer and chasing trout
GA Bud Light with the Alogo facing Dout
DHear that subtle mandolin
AThat's textbook panderin'
BmI own a private ranch that I rarely Guse
A I don't like dirt
[Spoken]
D One verse, Aone chorus in the bag
G Now it's time to talk to the ladies
D I'm hoping my Southern Acharm offsets all these rape-y Gvibes I'm puttin' out A
[Verse 2]
DGood girl
AIn a straw hat
GWith her arms out Ain a corn field
D That is a scaArecrow
GThought that was a human womanA, sorry
DA cold night
AA cold beer
GA cold jeans
AStrike that last one
DI'm wanting you
AI hope you're feeling meG
Subtextually
[Pre-Chorus]
BmWe go to bed, Ayou doze off
G So I take your country girl clothes off
Bm I put my hands on your body
It fGeels like hay, it's a fAucking scarecrow again
[Chorus]
D Like Mike's Evander-ing
A Fuck your ears, I'm pandering
BmI write songs for the people who do
GJobs in the towns that I'd Anever move to
DLegalize gerrymandering
ATolerate my pandering
BmYou got a beautiful mouth
I got a beautiful (Gdick)
