Subject: When Country Was Ugly- by Tim Wilson

On verse 3, the word ?ugly? is sang with the long vowel sound.

When Country was Ugly
Recorded by: Tim Wilson.
Album: Hillbilly Homeboy.

V. 1: I liked country better back when it was ugly.
Girls never threw panties at David Allan Coe.
Women never said Willie had a cute butt.
Waylon didn?t have to hide a beer gut.
And record execs told Johnny Paycheck to shove his video.

V. 2: I liked country better back when it was dog ugly.
Nobody ever called Hank, Jr. a pretty thing.
Back when Neal McCoy was still wetting the bed.
And Conway Twitty had a helmet head.
And the best looking man in Nashville was a fella named K.D. Lang.

V. 3: I liked country better back when it was ugly.
Back when Lyle Lovett was considered a handsome man.
Back when all the great stars all dressed like hell.
Rhinestones running on a Duracell.
Back when Tanya Tucker was a big Glen Campbell fan.

V. 4: I liked country better back when it was highly unattractive.
Talking back into George Jones? flat-topped days.
When nobody could compete with Dolly Parton?s wigs.
And her boobs weren?t this damn big.
And the boys in the band all looked like they?d been hit by the ugly bus.
I liked country better back when it looked like us.
I liked country better back when it looked like me.
And that is butt ugly.
