Hey, c'mon

First time I heard "Good Hearted Woman",
I was in my uncle's car
He said: "Son, now that's what I call music,
"Listen to them guitars"
"Turn it up, go on,

"These songs, they got some meat"
I don't think I heard a single word,
'Cause I was caught up in the beat

I fin'lly got my license to drive

Some kinda hill billy rock an' roll
It was somethin' new, breakin' all the rules,

Takin' the country back
The economy was the worst you ever saw,
Yeah, but '85 was a good year for the outlaw, son

(Whoo, c'mon)
(Yeah)

Now somewhere in some honky tonk,
You don't even know his name,
Some young upstart just startin' up,
An' he's wantin' to make a change
He says: "Turn it up,
