Verse 2:
Well I'd sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It'd be so easy I'd just write it from my heart
Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you'll be stuck in my head all day
Cause you're already there anyway, yes you are
(Chorus)
Bridge:

And if I get it right everybody will be singing along, oh yeah

G
Hey, ain't you the girl in that song?

Brad Paisley's new single This is Country Music
has to be one of the best songs ever. It's like "every country song" mixed into one. Paisley highlights the authenticity, faith, bravery, and patriotism associated with the music of middle-America. It's no wonder he one "entertainer of the year" at the CMA's this same evening. This is a must listen to!

How to Be a Country Star: Updated
If the Statler Brothers were around today their classic song How to Be a Country Star
might sing a little differently.
Original Statler Brothers Version
Updated for Today Version
There's questions I’m always hearing every where I go
Like can city slickers make it on the country shows
Well, it takes more than just a twangy voice to hide who you really are
There's a few more things you ought to learn to be a country star
You got to learn to dance like Simpson or dress like the band Perry
Be pretty like Gloriana, or play rock like Jason Aldean
Put a rasp in your voice like Kracker, go to high school like Taylor
Cross over like Kid Rock did and you'll be a country star
Gel your hair like Rascal Flatts does or troy or Kelly or Keith
Have a beard like James Otto or a father like Miley
Be old just like the Eagles and Jewel you just can’t ignore
Make no sense like Sugarland, and you’ll be a Country star.
As for think Mr. Bojangles, and it's not too hard to figure out.
