The 'f' Word

Well I've been hangin' out with my Rebel son Kid Rock
And I don't really like this stuff they call Hip Hop
But he's sure been good to me
And I'm still tryin' to make him see
In country music, you just can't say the F word

My son Shelton say he's been havin' a hard time
Yea he does great shows but he's just gotta speak his own mind
Well I wonder where that came from?
I guess he's a real son-of-gun.
Take the old man's advice, be nice, and lose the F word

No, no in country music you just can't say the F word
Oh we've come a long way but it's best if that one's not heard
Oh we've had some hells and damns
But we don't say "bitch" we say, "why yes ma'am."
'Cause in country music you just don't use the F word

Today's hot new country, it sounds pretty good to me
But it's time for basics, our roots and some reality
You gotta scrape me off the ceiling
Mrs. Hawkins says it with feeling
But in country music you just can't say the F word

No, no in country music you just can't say the F word
Oh we've come a long way but it's best if that one's not heard
Oh we've had some hells and damns
But we don't say "bitch" we say, "why yes ma'am."
'Cause in country music you just don't use the F word

Some of these guys say it 500 times
But in country music you don't use it one damn line
Oh in country music we don't say the F word
