"If It Ain't Broke" lyrics - WHITEY MORGAN AND THE 78'S

Well, the radio is playing an unfamiliar song
The DJ calls it 'country', but, hell, I don't know it at all
One thing that's for certain, and I think old Hank would agree
That sure don't sound like country to me

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings
Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk heart
Like Ernest Tubb had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well, nowadays in Nashville, it's like the Hollywood of the South
So-called country singers, singin' songs they know nothin' about
Swimmin' pools and fancy cars, datin' big-time movie stars
Well, that don't sound like country to me

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings
Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk heart
Like George Jones had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well, my gramps sat down and he told me
About ten years ago
Said, "If you wanna play country music, boy
You better have a lot of soul"
Well, he came up from Kentucky
And he passed it down to me
And this here sure as hell sounds country to me

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't Johnny, Merle, or Hank, or Waylon Jennings
Yeah, if it ain't got that honky tonk heart
Like old Paycheck had from the start
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
