American Country Band

Written by Jon Wolfe, Dave Brainard, & Tony Ramey

It’s a blessing to have had so many great musicians come in and out of my life throughout my career. Me and the boys load up the bus, hit the road, and take our music to the people.

It’s the heart and soul of who we are and what we do, but it came to a screeching halt during the pandemic. It wasn’t just the musicians affected, but the venues and the men and women whose jobs depend on bands touring.

The song pays homage to all those folks who put in a full day before the downbeat starts. To those behind the lights, the sound, and the bar. I raise a glass and toast to better days to come.

(Intro)

From the empty honky tonks to the sold out shows
Billy Bob's Texas to the Grizzly Rose
We keepin' a pickin' these ol' guitars and singin' these songs
Every now and again we hear 'em talkin' that smack
They're some good ol boys but they ain't gonna last
While we're gassin' that diesel up to get it on

We got the whole world tellin' us to tone it down
But we're turnin' it up and comin' unwound

(Chorus)

Bobby's got a coffee two hands on the wheel
Rollin down the highway to Honytonkville
The union boys are waitin' burnin' cigarettes down
Dropping them trailers when wе roll into town
Pushin' that gear pluggin' it in
Line out the door downbеats at ten
Crackin' them longnecks and crankin' up loud
Boots on the floor for party crowd
That's how we do it we don't give a damn
We're a red-blooded hardworking blue collar
American Country Band

(Verse)

Still a lotta folks from a long way away
Coming from the heart of the U.S. of A
Drivin' them pickup trucks for a Saturday night
You've waited all week been bustin' your ass
To cut loose get down and raise up your glass
Sing them songs you been living for your whole life

So we roll up our sleeve get sweat on our shirts
Make damn sure you get your money's worth

(Chorus)

Bobby's got a coffee two hands on the wheel
Rollin down the highway to Honytonkville
The union boys are waitin' burnin' cigarettes down
Dropping them trailers when we roll into town
Pushin' that gear pluggin' it in
Line out the door downbeats at ten
Crackin' them longnecks and crankin up loud
Boots on the floor for party crowd
That's how we do it we don't give a damn
We're a red-blooded hardworking blue collar
American Country Band

Pushin' that gear pluggin' it in
Line out the door downbeats at ten
Crackin' them longnecks and crankin up loud
Boots on the floor for party crowd
That's how we do it we don't give a damn
We're a red-blooded hardworking blue collar
