Lyrics:

                                                  
Playin' Possum

Country music has gotten away
From three chords and the truth
It now sounds like old time rock
Like the stuff the Stones use to do
There's no Cash or Haggard
No Conway or Patsy Cline
They left that kind of music
Dying on the vine

I wish they'd start Playin' Possum
Songs like that shouldn't be forgotten
Yeah, country music wouldn't be dead
If they'd turn around instead
And just start playin' Possum

They stopped loving it today
Put rap lyrics at its door
And carried it away
To where it's never been before
It seems like today's music
Is all about the money
But why can't they do the decent thing
And stop calling it country

Chorus (repeat)

I don't need your rocking chair
Or a shiny golden ring
It was a good year for the roses
When there were songs like that to sing

I wish they'd start playin' Possum
Songs like that shouldn't be forgotten
Yeah, country music wouldn't be dead
If they'd turn around instead
And just start playin' Possum
If they would just start playin' Possum
