Backstory:

I got the idea for this song from the pitch info and I took it to one of my best co-writers. We began by doing a deep dive into Alan Jackson's roots and history including a 1996 Crook & Chase interview. He is one of my top five all time favorite country artists along with George Jones, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard and George Strait. The demo was provided by my other best co-writer, Song U member Albert Compton.

Lyrics:

                                                  
                                                  My Country's Always Classic

Lyric

Verse 1: 
Well I know times are different now
And they have been for a while
I'm told I need to adjust 
And modernize my style   

But tradition makes me who I am
It never leaves my grip
I play my George Jones records
Pour some sweet tea, take a sip
  
Chorus:
Oh, my hat was made in Texas
And the same goes for my boots 
And I was raised in Georgia
From a long line of down home roots
 
While new trends whirl around me 
I stand firm on solid ground
My country's always classic
And it's coming back around  

Verse 2:
Yes I know there’s room for change  
And I Don't fault those who decide
To roll along and follow 
The direction of the tide 

But I know just who I am
Who I’ve been and who I’ll be
A simple man with simple plans
Filled with faith and family  

Chorus
Oh, my hat was made in Texas
And the same goes for my boots 
And I was raised in Georgia
Come from years of down home roots
 
While new trends whirl around me 
I stand firm on solid ground
My country's always classic
And it's coming back around  

Fiddle Instr.

Repeat Chorus

Outro
Yeah my country's always classic
And it's coming back around
