Easton Corbin ~ A Little More Country Than That

 

Not being a mainstream Country Music listener; this tune caught my ear and heart while out 2step dancin recently. 

 

A run around the ol internet led me to learn this tune hit #1 on country music charts in April 2010.  Likely the reason I’m hearing it at Cowboys Dancehall and Midnight Rodeo…

 

Corbin is the first solo artist in 7 years to send a debut single to #1. 

 

I’m very fond of the lyric, blend of guitar, fiddle, steel throughout song, and the ‘hint’ of a bit of Strait within Easton’s vocal.

 

 

 

A Little More Country Than That

 

Writer(s)- Rory Lee Feek, Don Poythress and Wynn Varble

 

 

Imagine a dirt road full of potholes
with a creek bank

And some cane poles catchin’ channel cat
I’m a little more country than that
Picture a small town with an old hound
Layin’ out front of the courthouse while
the old men chew the fat
I’m a little more country than that

Chorus:
I just want to make sure you know just who
you’re gettin’ under this old hat

‘Cause girl I’m not the kind to two-time or play
games behind your back
I’m a little more country than that

Think of a Hank song from days gone
With the steel ride that’s so strong it sends
chills up your back
I’m a little more country than that

If you want a brick home in a school zone
With the doors locked and alarms on, girl
you’re way off track
I’m a little more country than that

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, I’m sure that you’ve heard those three
words from others but they fell flat

But this ring ain’t something that I mean to
give you and then take back
I’m a little more country than that
I’m a little more country than that
I’m a little more country than that
