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 told some 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' What my parents were playin' But 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 told some whether it's right or wrong I stay up all night Done it my whole life Sometimes you gotta write A country song About love, about lies, about my baby's truck Real life, that's the stuff Yeah first kiss, last call, 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 told some whether it's right or wrong It gets me every time Story of my life There ain't nothin' like A country song About love, about lies, about my baby's truck Real life, that's the stuff A country song First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups My life that's what
