You Don't Have to be Hot to Like Country

from The Bucket by Larry Salomon Project

about

My first real foray into the Country music genre. Inevitable, I suppose, since I was born and raised in the south. Even though I never really listened much to this type of music, this song was a blast to write and record!

lyrics

I was walking on down the street / Happy as I could be
When a beautiful dark skinned blonde / Came on over to me
She was listening to rock and roll / As she gave me a smile
I looked her once right in the eye / And said without any guile

You don't have to be hot to like country / But it helps with the boys
Cause when we see a good looking girl / We like to make a lot of noise
You don't have to be hot to like country / Cause it's loved round the world
But you gotta like country / To be my girl

At the end of a long, hot day / I stopped to get me some eats
When a pretty, long haired brunette / Came on over to me
She heard me singing all to myself / Then asked me who it was
"Lemme tell you 'bout Johnny Cash / The best that ever was"

You don't have to be hot to like country / Though it can open doors
Cause when we see a nice southern girl / It's not easy to ignore
Though you don't have to be hot to like country / Yet it helps if you are
Cause if you're hot and you like country / You're like a music star

(Spoken) Playing a guitar

You don't have to be hot to like country / But it helps with the boys
Cause when we see a good looking girl / We like to make a lot of noise
No you don't have to be hot to like country / I don't want to offend
But if you don't like Hank or Merle / Then you can't be my friend
No it doesn't matter what kind of girl / 'Cause this is the end
