Read Time:1 Minute, 28 Second

Hey, Cmon.
First time I heard Good Hearted Woman,
I was in my uncles car.
He said Son, now thats what I call music,
Listen to them guitars.
Turn it up, go on,
Turn it up.

He said Forget that crap youre listenin to,
These songs, they got some meat.
I dont think I heard a single word,
Cause I was caught up in the beat.
Yeah, I turned it up,
I turned it way up, yeah.

An it was wild guitar, it was loud an hard
Some hill billy rock an roll.
It was somethin new, breakin all the rules,
Man, I could feel it down in my soul.
It was Waylon an Willie playin Chet an Cash,
An takin the country back.
Yeah, times were tough an it was hard to find a job.
Well, 79 was a good year for the outlaw, yeah.

All right.

Well, it was somethin like five years later,

I finlly got my license to drive.
I was huggin the kerb first time I heard,
A Country Boy Can Survive.
An I turned it up,
Yeah, I turned it way up.

An it was wild guitars, it was loud an hard
Some kinda hill billy rock an roll.
It was somethin new, breakin all the rules,
But you could feel it down in your soul.
He was the son of the original son of a gun,
Takin the country back.
The economy was the worst you ever saw,
Yeah, but 85 was a good year for the outlaw, son.

Instrumental Break.
Turn it up.
Whoo, cmon.
Yeah.

Now somewhere in some honky tonk,
You dont even know his name,
Some young upstart just startin up,
An hes wantin to make a change.
He says Turn it up,
