Lazy Coffee The Country Flute Lyrics

Verses
The country band was gathering one evening back in June
Everyone arrived on time to play a little tune
I unpacked my piano and I set it on the stand
Next to it I put my flute to sing with in the band

The guitar player with his finger wagging from on high
He shook his head and cleared his throat, it was a little dry
I crossed my brows and waited to see what this guy would say
I wondered what his words would be or if he'd go away
And he said

Bridge
There ain't no flute in country music, put that thing away
If you think I'm gonna change my mind, it won't happen today
Country likes the banjo and a very steady drum
The flute plays in the orchestra and it don't even strum
So I said

Verse
So, listen here you hillbillies get with the modern times
You're lucky if the modern song has even got a rhyme
If a saxophone can sing along, then so can this here flute
Just be happy no one said you'd have to wear a suit

Bridge
There ain't no flute in country music, put that thing away
If you think I"m gonna change my mind it won't happen today
Country likes the banjo and a very steady drum
The flute plays in the orchestra and it don't even strum
