Intro (spoken, with guitar riff + fiddle flourish): “Yeehaw! … Some folks say country’s about heartbreak and trucks… Well my truck’s drivin’ itself, and it ain’t electric!” [Verse 1] (G – C – D – G) [🎸 Steady “boom-chicka-boom” guitar strum.] Well my horse stole my truck and he drove it to town, He was honkin’ that horn tryin’ to run folks down. He bought a cowboy hat and some mirrored shades, Then he line-danced circles in the parade. [Chorus] (C – D – G – Em – C – D – G) [Kick drum hits 1 & 3, snare 2 & 4. Add fiddle & banjo.] ’Cause my rooster plays banjo, my goat’s a rodeo clown, Grandma’s ridin’ dolphins through the middle of town. My pig’s got a mansion made of pork chop stew, And my cow yodeled opera on the Channel 2 News! [Verse 2] (G – C – D – G) [Add a little slap bass walking line.] Well my dog joined the circus, does backflips all day, And my hamster drives a semi down the interstate. Uncle Earl set fire to his underwear, While the preacher rode an ostrich through the county fair! [Chorus] (C – D – G – Em – C – D – G) [Band builds—bring in harmonica + stompin’ boots.] Yeah my rooster plays banjo, my goat’s a rodeo clown, The sheriff’s on a skateboard wearin’ evening gowns. I saw a squirrel jugglin’ chainsaws by the Texaco, And the raccoons stole my moonshine—now they run the show! [Bridge] (Em – D – C – G) [Breakdown—just fiddle & claps, everyone sings along.] The fish are line-dancin’ at the bottom of the creek, The mailbox plays banjo and it jams twice a week. If you think it can’t get dumber, just hang around— The turkeys formed a boy band and they’re tourin’ the town! [Final Chorus] (C – D – G – Em – C – D – G) [FULL BAND CHAOS – banjo solo, fiddle screech, cowbell.] My rooster plays banjo, my goat’s a rodeo clown, My tractor’s fist-fightin’ with a merry-go-round. The moonshine’s on fire and the sky turned blue— Welcome to my country life, it’s slapstick true! [Outro] (Band fades out with banjo + chicken clucks) “YEEHAW! Somebody get that horse outta my truck!” 🚜🐓🐐
