RADIO ON TRIAL
Written by: Barry P. Foley Copyright © 2 April 2006
I’m gonna go down to the courthouse, take me out warrant Put Country Music Radio on Trial I’ll take it all the way, to the U.S. Supreme Court, To fix it, you got to go that extra mile
The judge will have to be fair, so we’ll get one from the south, He’ll understand what we’re talking about The jury will be real country fans, from all across this great land, They’ll have to know three Hank Sr. songs
Now we won’t allow no lawyers, cause they cannot be trusted They been part of the problem all along For our star witnesses, we’ll get Haggard, Willie and old Possum, Put them on the stand sing their latest songs
I’d tell the jury to sit back, y’all just listen close The defendants don’t won’t you to know They have conspired with one another and I’m here to tell you brother They want you to think they’ve already retired
Now the evidence is clear, well, “Judge just listen here This supposed to be Country Music on the Radio” You’ll even hear Bon Jovi, Mr. and Mrs. Tim McGraw Oh, those Rascal Flatts, they gotta be the worst of ‘em all
Now radio will want to settle out of court, only as a last resort Once they see they’ve already lost the fight So maybe we’ll ablidge, but we won’t compromise, Let me tell ya how we’ll make it right
You will listen to the fans, not some Yankee man Talking about demographics and all them fancy words Fans will have to power, to make you play Merle once an hour Country Radio will make America proud
TAG: And Country Radio will make America proud
