Capo 2

          C
Well they sing about Jesus, they sing about Jones
         F                C
And they sing of American pride ,,
            C
But they're all to damn clean, polished like stones
         D              G           C 
And they wont sing about cheatin and lies

         C
Well i remember the days when the singers just sang
            F                       C
And left it all in the stories they tell
F                      C      
These days we're in AM country heaven
    G          C
And FM country hell

C     
I miss the days when the women were ugly
        F                        C
And the men were all forty years old
C        
Cause you had to say something for people to listen
         D                    G
Now they just do what they're told

          C
Well it's all about idols and pretty blonde hair
    F                       C
And how many trucks you can sell
F              C
Out here in AM country heaven
    G          C
And FM country hell


Chorus
     F                                C
Well out on these back roads the only real truth that I know
G                     C
Don't cross the radio band
   F                           C
It cuts thru the static like a chill in the air
        D                         G  
Well it fades out then comes back again
            C
Well i don't mean to sound jaded because I know there are plenty 
      F                        C
Young singers who aren't up for sale
            F               C
But they're all stuck in AM country heaven
    G          C 
And FM country hell


Key change to D

       D
Well i knew it was over the day that i overheard
  G                 D
A record executive cry
D 
"Keep it all simple, don't get offensive 
          E                           A  
And don't play songs in three quarter time." 
            D 
Well mister record man I hope you don't take offense
             G                    D
But you're a hell of a joke i can tell
           G                  D
You're the reason we're in AM country heaven
    A          D
And FM country hell 


Chorus

             G               D
Yeah they're all stuck in AM country heaven
    A          D
and FM country hell
