You got to love ol' Charlie Daniels
  You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too
  And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band
  Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you
  Yes, Bakersfield has got ol' Merle Haggard
  He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed
  Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers
  But I guess my favorite would be the CDB
  
  (Chorus)
  Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City
  Guess the big LA, it never cared for me
  So won't you tell all them Hollywierd writer people
  That it just don't make a damn
  When you got good friends like me
  
  Never dick on good ol' Waylon Jennings
  Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me
  Well they're playin' that good ol' country-western
  You know this thing they call the Texas Swing
  
  (Chorus)
