AM Country Heaven
By: Jason Eady
Capo 2
C
Well they sing about Jesus, they sing about Jones
F C
And they sing of American pride
C
But they're all to damn clean, polished like stones
D7 G
And they wont sing about cheatin and lies
C
Well i remember the days when the singers just sang
F C
And left it all in the stories they tell
F C
These days we're in AM country heaven
G C
And FM country hell
C
I miss the days when the women were ugly
F C
And the men were all forty years old
C
Cause you had to say something for people to listen
D7 G
Now they just do what they're told
C
Well it's all about idols and pretty blonde hair
F C
And how many trucks you can sell
F C
Out here in AM country heaven
G C
And FM country hell
Chorus:
F C
Well out on these back roads the only real truth that I know
G C
Don't cross the radio band
F C
It cuts thru the static like a chill in the air
D G
Well it fades out then comes back again
C
Well i dont mean to sound jaded because I know there are plenty
F C
Young singers who arent up for sale
F C
But they're all stuck in AM country heaven
G C
And FM country hell
Key change to D
D
Well i knew it was over the day that i overheard
G D
A record execuctive cry
D
"Keep it all simple, dont get offensive
E7 A
And dont play songs in three quarter time."
D
Well mister record man I hope you dont take offense
G D
But you're a hell of a joke i can tell
G D
You're the reason we're in AM country heaven
A D
And FM country hell
Chorus:
F C
Well out on these back roads the only real truth that I know
G C
Don't cross the radio band
F C
It cuts thru the static like a chill in the air
D G
Well it fades out then comes back again
C
Well i dont mean to sound jaded because I know there are plenty
F C
Young singers who arent up for sale
F C
But they're all stuck in AM country heaven
G C
And FM country hell
F C
Yeah they're all stuck in AM country heaven
G C
and FM country hell
