Capo 2
C
Well they sing about Jesus, they sing about Jones
FC
And they sing of American pride
C
But they're all to damn clean, polished like stones
D7GC
And they wont sing about cheatin and lies
C
Well i remember the days when the singers just sang
FC
And left it all in the stories they tell
C
These days we're in AM country heaven
GC
And FM country hell
I miss the days when the women were ugly
And the men were all forty years old
Cause you had to say something for people to listen
Now they just do what they're told
Well it's all about idols and pretty blonde hair
And how many trucks you can sell
Out here in AM country heaven
And FM country hell
Chorus
FC
Well out on these back roads the only real truth that I know
GC
Don't cross the radio band
FC
It cuts thru the static like a chill in the air
DG
Well it fades out then comes back again
C
Well i dont mean to sound jaded because I know there are plenty
FC
Young singers who arent up for sale
FC
But they're all stuck in AM country heaven
GC
And FM country hell
Key change to D
D
Well i knew it was over the day that i overheard
GD
A record execuctive cry
D
"Keep it all simple, dont get offensive
E7A
And dont play songs in three quarter time."
D
Well mister record man I hope you dont take offense
GD
But you're a hell of a joke i can tell
GD
You're the reason we're in AM country heaven
AD
And FM country hell
Chorus
Yeah they're all stuck in AM country heaven
and FM country hell
