The Worst Country Song Of All Time Lyrics

[Intro]
This is the worst country song of all time
And it goes

[Verse 1]
I hate beer and honky tonk women
I don't eat deer and I can't stand fishin'
And I don't know the words to "Family Tradition"
"Folsom Prison" or "Walk the Line"

And I think sweet tea is overrated
And all dirt roads were made for pavin'
Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time

[Chorus]
And the chorus goes
I love cities and traffic jams
I don't want a house on a piece of land
I deserve a bunch of money and a minivan
But I don't wanna earn a dime
Old Yeller didn't make me sad
I think we should change the American flag
Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time
Sеcond verse goes

[Verse 2]
I think trucks arе a waste of gas
If you disagree, we'll cancel that 'cause
My mama never whipped my ass
Huh, I guess she never tried
Man, stick a fork in the constitution
I support Kim Jong-Un and Putin
Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time
And the chorus goes
[Chorus]
I love cities and traffic jams
I don't want a house on a piece of land
I deserve a bunch of money and a minivan
But I don't wanna earn a dime
Old Yeller didn't make me sad
I think we should change the American flag
Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time

[Bridge]
And the bridge goes
I'm too good for solo cups
Your mama's homemade fried chicken sucks
Boots ain't made to get scuffed up
How you like that saxophone?
Yeah, my neck ain't red and John Deeres are blue
And you're as country as caviar if you think that's true
This song's a joke, but if it ain't for you
I know your favorite song
And it goes like

[Chorus]
I love cities and traffic jams
I don't want a house on a piece of land
I deserve a bunch of money and a minivan
But I don't wanna earn a dime
Old Yeller didn't make me sad
I think we should change the American flag
Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time

Genius Annotation

“The Worst Country Song Of All Time” is a tongue-in-cheek song where Brantley Gilbert teams up with the likes of Hardy and Toby Keith to trash country music stereotypes and clichés while simultaneously praising stereotypes of city life. The song also takes jabs at political figures such as Russian President, Vladimir Putin and North Koren leader, Kim Jong-Un.
The song was written by Brantley Gilbert, HARDY, Hunter Phelps, and Will Weatherly. It is the first song Gilbert has written with any of the other songwriters. When talking about the writing process for the track, Gilbert said,

As songwriters, we have a group of people that we’re extremely comfortable writing with and we usually already know what kind of song we’re gonna write. But I branched out and wrote with some folks that I haven’t written with before – and this song came out of one of the first times I wrote with Hardy, Hunter and Will. I’m just really stoked that I met those guys and have had the privilege and honor of working with them."

The collaboration with Toby Keith was decided by both Gilbert and HARDY together. Gilbert said in an interview with Taste of Country Nights,

We felt like we needed an old-school vet with the stamp of approval… I think having Toby on it makes it semi-okay. It doesn’t feel like country music blasphemy quite yet."
