Everyone's here, talking and dancing
They're having a good time
But it's hard to smile when my friends all know
I got you on my mind
Hey I'm not in the mood
To hear another fast dancing song
I don't care if it's old country gold or new country soul
I've had enough of this rock-and-roll

Let's keep the heart in the country
Because that's where it should always be
Don't get me wrong, I like to party
But tonight I must sit this one out, you see
Because the one I love is leaving
Bartender, bring me whiskey please
Let's keep the heart in the country
Because love has torn the heart right out of me

Now that was great
Please thank the band for playing that song
It was nice and smooth
Like this Kentucky brew that I am sipping on
Oh how I'll miss her
But I got my music and now I'll get along
I don't feel bad now, you see
Misery loves company in a country song

Let's keep the heart in the country
Because that's where it should always be
Don't get me wrong, I like to party
But tonight I must sit this one out, you see
Because the one I love is leaving
Bartender, bring me whiskey please
Let's keep the heart in the country
Because love has torn the heart right out of me

Let's keep the heart in the country
Because love has torn the heart right out of me
