A Real Life Country Song Lyrics

I went looking for trouble, just outside of Austin Texas
I got myself a gig out there at south by southwest
Oh the festival had finished, I headed out of town
To find the America the songs all sing about

And I always wanted to write a real life country song
With honky-tonks and bar room fights and true love that went wrong
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back
I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat

So I gathered up my greenback and hit the local bars
I met this stripper called Juliette with a really fancy car
We drove down the I45 smoking cigarettes
Drinking cheap ass whisky talking about all our regrets

And I always wanted to write a real life country song With slide guitar, harmonica and a dusty old banjo
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back
I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat

One country songs will teach you which turns out to be true
Is if you go looking for trouble son, trouble will find you
We crashed the car, had a run in with the law, only just escaped
Now I'm singing for my supper on the Corpus Christi Bay

And I always wanted to write a real life country song
With slide guitar, harmonica and a dusty old banjo
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, a guitar upon my back
I'll be the only Englishman to wear a cowboy hat
