Mr. DJ, can't you please play
                 F
A real country song
                  G
Where's your conscience? Hey, what's the problem?
                               C
Speak up and tell 'em what's wrong
        C
Play Loretta, or some Conway
        C                F
Some Haggard and George Jones
     G
Mr. DJ, can't you please play
                 C
A real country song?

[Bridge]
   G                              F    C
I miss that station I grew up on - W.S.M
             G
When it was real, and country to the bone
      D                          G
WIth heartfelt stories in every song
           C
Don't you rock it, but if you can swing it
     C                 F
Let Bob Wills take me home
         G
Hey, Mr. DJ can't you please play
                C
A real country song?

[Verse 2]
                    C
(Spoken) "Now in recent years, y'all, things sure have changed
                               F
So quick, we've barely even noticed.
     G
But now it's plain to see that pretty soon there's gonna be
                                     C
Not one country legend walking here among us.
           C
Like the drive-in picture shows and the Mom and Pop stores
                                      F
It kind of looks like they'll all be gone"
              G
Just like the DJ when he plays
                C
A real country song

[Bridge]
   G                              F      C
I miss that station I grew up on - K.I.K.K
             G
When it was real, and country to the bone
     D                           G
With heartfelt stories in every song
           C
Don't you rock it, hey if you can swing it
      C               F
Let Bob Wills take me home
          G
Hey, Mr. DJ, can't you please play
                C
A real country song?

[Chorus]
                 C
Hey, don't you rock it if you can swing it
     C                F
Let Bob Wills take me home
          G
Hey, Mr. DJ can't you please play
                 C
A real country song
