DIf I was running this country
DI'd build a big old bar
DWith a stage for a singer
DAnd a fiddle and a steel guitar
GIf I was running this roost
DI'd use an iron fist
EYou wouldn't hear one lick of that
ATailgate drum loop shit
GIt'd be nothing but Cash
DHank, Waylon and Willie
G DWe'd be the honky tonk party
A DmIf I was running this country

DIf I was running this country
DI'd Go back in time
D DBetween 1953 and '79
GThere'd be a man in black
DLooking for a Muskogee
E7And Hank Williams in the back
AOf a big old Cadillac
GA Buck Owens and Lefty
DA Bob Wills and Patsy
G DWe'd be the honky tonk party
A DIf I was running this country
[Chorus]
GThey'd never vote us in
DBut buddy if they did
D AI'd be the first ever rhinestone suit wearing President
G D G GAnd I can play the part on this old guitar
DCall it the honky tonk party

DIf I was running this country
DI'd change a thing or two
DWe'd start the National Anthem
DWith a little bit of working man blues
GThere'd only be one law
DYou have to be an outlaw
E7I'd make my oval office
AOut of any old hole in the wall
GNo tax on beer
DFree Goverment whiskey
G DWe need a Jukebox junkie
A DTo start running this country
[Chorus]
