Lyrics

Three chords and the truth
Im not tryin to be rude
Get behind whatcha feel
Sing me something that's real

Don't wanna hear about a pick-up truck
Floatin’ a river and you're so dang drunk
We can dig the girls in cut-off jeans
can't cha find some new lyrical means

Three chords and the truth
Im not tryin to be rude
Get behind whatcha feel
Sing me something that's real

Not impressed by your shoe-gaze strum
Half-hearted sloppy band and ham-fist drums
Its sharp to wear a pearl-snap shirt
How 'bout a tight shuffle first

Three chords and the truth
Im not tryin to be rude
Get behind whatcha feel
Sing me something that's real

And if you’re singing a bridge
Try a six or a three
But don’t take it from me
Just two-five an’a chorus repeat

Three chords and the truth
Im not tryin to be rude
Get behind whatcha feel
Play me something that's real
