This is one of the best songs written about the state of todays country music!

Jon Christopher Davis has said the exact way I feel about what Nashville, the

business, has done to the music!

Capo 1

D A

Beautiful girl in ripped up jeans, head full of air and karaoke dreams

Bm G

Bartender says she looks so good, she oughta be in Hillbilly Hollywood

D A

Well the fat cat told her she could be a star, not because shes good, because she fits the part

Bm G

Id like to find the jerk that said sex sells, take his job away and throw his ass in jail

Chorus 1:

A G

Hey man, you went too far, won't you bring back the radio star

D A

You ran a good thing into the ground when you started selling sight over sound

G D Bm

And the thing that saddens me the most are the things that once mattered are now a ghost

A G Bm D

Why dont you take a look at what youre leaving behind 'stead of always thinking about the bottom line."

Well I tried to listen but all I see are cartoon characters on TV

They cant hear the difference today between saying something and having something to say

Give me Waylon, Dylan, Haggard, and Jones, give me just a little more meat on the bones

Johnny Cash come and take our hand and lead us back over to the promised land

Chorus

Bridge:

Bm

Its lights, camera, action

F#m

Its as strange as Michael Jackson

G

They spend a million dollars on a new CD

D G

While the kids at home download it for free

Chorus

Bm D

The bottom line, the bottom line

Bm D

Oh the bottom line, the bottom line

Bm D

Ooooo-ooooh, ooooh-ooooh

Bm D

Ooooo-ooooh, ooooh-ooooh
