The Bottom Line

This is one of the best songs written about the state of todays country music!
Jon Christopher Davis has said the exact way I feel about what Nashville, the
business, has done to the music!
Capo 1
D A
Beautiful girl in ripped up jeans, head full of air and karaoke dreams
Bm G
Bartender says she looks so good, she oughta be in Hillbilly Hollywood
D A
Well the fat cat told her she could be a star, not because shes good, because she fits the part
Bm G
Id like to find the jerk that said sex sells, take his job away and throw his ass in jail
Chorus 1:
A G
Hey man, you went too far, won't you bring back the radio star
D A
You ran a good thing into the ground when you started selling sight over sound
G D Bm
And the thing that saddens me the most are the things that once mattered are now a ghost
A G Bm D
Why dont you take a look at what youre leaving behind 'stead of always thinking about the bottom line."
Well I tried to listen but all I see are cartoon characters on TV
They cant hear the difference today between saying something and having something to say
Give me Waylon, Dylan, Haggard, and Jones, give me just a little more meat on the bones
Johnny Cash come and take our hand and lead us back over to the promised land
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm
Its lights, camera, action
F#m
Its as strange as Michael Jackson
G
They spend a million dollars on a new CD
D G
While the kids at home download it for free
Chorus
Bm D
The bottom line, the bottom line
Bm D
Oh the bottom line, the bottom line
Bm D
Ooooo-ooooh, ooooh-ooooh
Bm D
Ooooo-ooooh, ooooh-ooooh
