I just wanna catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer
And not wake up to all this stuff I don′t want to hear
Like the same kind of gun I hunt with
just killed another man
When the only thing mine ever shot
was a deer from my deer stand
I just want to grow my corn, feed my dogs, wear my boots
Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evenin' news
And be told if I tell my own daughter
that little boys ain′t little girls
I'll be up the creek in hot water
in this "cancel your ass" world

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point
when everything goes up in flames
Sayin′ I′m some right-wing devil 'cause I was small town
Jesus raised
It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

I just wanna cut my grass, watch my game, say my prayers
Not get a picture of a flag up in flames as people cheer
Yeah, the same one my grandaddy fought
for being stepped on like it's trash
And I′m a downright hateful monster
if I back the blue and badge

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point
when everything goes up in flames
Sayin′ I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was red letter
Jesus raised
It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

All I do is mind my business, live my life the best I can
Try to be a real good husband
a real good daddy, a real good man
But because I have my morals and a small-town point of view
You assume that you don′t like me
means that I don't like you, too

It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point
when everything goes up in flames
Sayin' I′m some right-wing devil 'cause I was gospel
Jesus raised
It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

Mm, in this country nowadays
