COUNTRY LADIES

Country Ladies

1) There was a country singer by the name of Benny Mack,
He had all the right credentials from the wrong side of the tracks.
He could pick up his old guitar and sound like Rambling Jack,
And the ladies they sure loved to hear him sing.
Chorus 1:
the country ladies they sure loved to hear him sing,
All the ladies they sure loved to hear him sing.

2) Benny was a looker in that good ol’ bad-boy way.
Had that devilish smile that would take him all the way
To country singer stardom, a legend in his day,
‘Cause the ladies they sure loved to hear him sing.

3) Benny Mack had God & country tattooed on his arm,
and with his first million records, bought a big old Nashville farm.
Every magazine and dj gushed about his charm,
and how the ladies all sure loved to hear him sing.

4) Now here’s the way it happened, the awful price of fame,
a photographer caught Benny on a private beach in Spain.
His arms wrapped around a lover, Carlos was his name, [drop out]
Now the ladies they don’t care to hear him sing.
The country ladies used to love to hear him sing,
Now the ladies they don’t care to hear him sing.
5) Well I’m sure that there’s a lesson, but I don’t know what it is,
Benny didn’t cheat his public, he just kept his business his.
You won’t hear him on the radio, he’s ruined in the biz
‘Cause the ladies they don’t care to hear him sing.
