[Verse 1]
We played straight country, slow and true
Steel guitar weeping, fiddle crying too
Three chords and heartache, that's how we rolled
Till the new bass player lost control
[Verse 2]
He started popping, slapping strings like mad
Steel tried to keep up, best duel we ever had
Our boots got loose, crowd began to shout
Honky-tonk turned funky inside out
[Chorus]
We got funk country now, y'all
Steel crying sweet while the bass stands tall
Funk country, feel that groove
Twang meets slap, now we move
Funk country, yeah that's our jam
Turning beer joints into funkyland
[Verse 3]
Drummer dropped the waltz, went four on the floor
Fiddle scratching scratches we never heard before
Line dance gone crazy, everybody's loose
Even grandma's doing the funky goose
[Bass & Steel Solo Break]
[Bridge]
No more sad songs about my truck and dog
Just sweat on the stage, cutting through the fog
Caught the funk virus, ain't no going back
Country gone funky, and that's a fact
[Final Chorus]
We got funk country now, y'all
Steel and bass leading the call
Funk country, feel that groove
Twang meets slap, now we move
Funk country, yeah that's our jam
Turning beer joints into funkyland
Funk country... funk country...
Yee-haw and slap that thang!
