Justin Tubb has been dead for almost 7 years and this song is at least 25 years old
yet it's still more relevant today than ever


G                            C
Some well-meaning people are trying to change us 
       G                          D 
Saying we've been too country too long 
     G                    C
They tell me from now the word is progressive 
    G            D         G
But I won't sell out for a song 
  G                    C
I grew up when Roy and ET and Kitty 
    G                       D
And Lefty and Hank were the rage 
       G                        C
It was good enough then so it's good enough now 
           G              D           G
'Cause the good wine gets better with age 


Chorus:
       C                             G
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now 
D                             G
What's wrong with fiddles and steel 
C                             G 
What's wrong with telling the world that you're country 
   A7                       D 
If that's how you really do feel 
         G                              C
So let's don't make it different, let's just make it better 
     G                    D
It's gotten us by up till now 
  G                    C
I am what I am and I'm proud that I am 
       G                             D        G
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now 


Well the sad part about it is all of the fans 
Who would like to hear country and cain't 
And most of those stations ain't fooling nobody 
When they call themselves country but ain't 
So please mister DJ, I'm proud to be country 
Whether concert or honky tonk joints 
So give this a listen and then if you won't play it 
My friend you're just proving my point 


Chorus
 
What's wrong with the way that we're doing it now
