Have you ever heard raindrops wailing on an old tin roof
Or haggard n cash, pouring out the simple truth
Do ya think that a little bit of fiddle is never enough
Then buddy you know exactly where I'm coming from
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't hang like the midnight train
Or cry like a steel bending my old heartstrings
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't swing, then I can't hang
It's gotta have soul or I don't give a dang
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
When I hear some back porch picking on an old banjo
It makes me hungry for some country on my radio
And I've never heard a sweeter sound in this whole wide world
Than a hey ya'll rollin on the lips of a southern girl
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't hang like the midnight train
Or cry like a steel bending my old heartstrings
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't swing, then I can't hang
It's gotta have soul or I don't give a dang
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't hang like the midnight train
Or cry like a steel bending my old heartstrings
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
If it don't swing, then I can't hang
It's gotta have soul or I don't give a dang
If it don't twang, it ain't my thing
