Barbara Ray - What's Wrong With the Way That We're Doing it Now? Lyrics

Some well-meaning people are trying to change us
Saying we've been too country too long
They tell me from now on the world is progressive
But I won't sell out for a song
I grew up when Roy and Kenny and Kitty
And Lefty and Hank were the rage
It was good enough then so it's good enough now
'Cause the good one gets better with age

What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now?
What's wrong with fiddles and steels?
What's wrong with telling the world that you're country?
If that's how you really feel
Let's don't make it different, let's just make it better
It's gotten us by up till now
I am what I am and I'm proud that I am
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now?

Well, the sad part about is all of the fans
Who would like to hear country and can't
And most of those stations ain't foolin' nobody
When they call themselves country but ain't
So please, Mr DJ I'm proud to be country
Where the concerts are honky tonk joints
So give this a listen and if you won't play it
My friend, you're just proving my point

What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now?
What's wrong with fiddles and steels?
What's wrong with telling the world that you're country?
If that's how you really feel
Let's don't make it different, let's just make it better
It's gotten us by up till now
I am what I am and I'm proud that I am
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now?
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now?
