lyrics

I wasn't raised on bluegrass I'm from the suburbs
I can't sing a song that I haven't suffered
I'm not united with the culture
I'm not entitled to the pain
And when I suffer, it's mild and wild and strange

Tried some cowboy boots, yeah, but they were useless
Listened to someone's roots but I'm still rootless
So I drove to the music store
They told me what I've been looking for
I needed something more

I was born on the open plain in the market
Submitted to the endless chain once in a Target
I was a bagger in a grocery store
Singing "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"
Till I was shown the door

I wasn't raised on bluegrass I'm from the suburbs
I can't sing a song that I haven't suffered
I haven't suffered
