Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, I'm just a simple country singer, singin' my songs
But there's some things in this world that I got all wrong
Like, I didn't know that tax fraud's a big ol' crime
And eatin' raw chicken could make me ill in no time
Now I'm sittin' here, wonderin' where I crossed the line
I didn't pay attention to the laws they teach in school
Or heed the warnings they give on the food channel
I was too busy strummin' my guitar, actin' like a fool
Didn't know cheatin' Uncle Sam or ignorin' food safety would cost
Now I'm facin' the consequences, and I feel so damn lost
[Verse 2]
I thought I was livin' the dream, tourin' from town to town
But now I got a whole mess of IRS and health problems comin' down
I didn't know that evadin' taxes or neglectin' hygiene could land me in a cell or bed
Guess I'll learn my lesson now, oh well, oh well
[Verse 3]
I used to drive around, feelin' free as a bird
But I didn't know not wearin' a seatbelt was absurd
Now I'm in a hospital bed, wishin' I'd listened to the word
Guess I'll learn my lesson now, in this world so absurd
[Verse 4]
I plugged my phone into 220 volts, thinkin' it'd charge in a flash
Just found out that's not how it works, now my phone's just ash
I'm sittin' here, wonderin' why it made such a crash
Guess I'll learn my lesson now, after that lightning dash
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a country singer, just realized my truths
From tax fraud to raw chicken, to seatbelts in my youth
I've made my share of blunders, but now I see the proof
But I'll keep on singin', under this old roof
[Verse 5]
I used to live carefree, not a worry in sight
Just found out my actions weren't exactly right
Now I'm nursing my regrets, in the cold moonlight
Guess I'll learn my lesson now, in this quiet night
[Outro]
So here's to all the lessons, the hard ones and the jest
I'm just a country singer, trying to do my best
From tax fraud to raw chicken, and all of life's test
I'll keep on learnin', that's my humble quest
[Verse 5]
I used to live carefree, not a worry in sight
Just found out my actions weren't exactly right
Now I'm nursing my regrets, in the cold moonlight
Guess I'll learn my lesson now, in this quiet night
[Outro]
So here's to all the lessons, the hard ones and the jest
I'm just a country singer, trying to do my best
From tax fraud to raw chicken, and all of life's test
I'll keep on learnin', that's my humble quest
