Amid corporate America’s ongoing interest in buying out family farmers, “I Don’t Wanna Be Right” doesn’t just politely decline any purchase offers; it instead adopts a firmer tone, both lyrically and musically.
Written by Nate Kenyon, Matt Gorman and Cooper Bascom, the song acknowledges the perceived problem of family-owned farms and traditional rural life (They say we’re stuck in the past / And we’re messin’ up the progress) while refusing to accept a buyout solution (Well, we’ll sell the grain but naw we ain’t gonna sell the farm).
If being country’s wrong
I don’t wanna be right
If being redneck got outlawed tonight
I’d be a wanted man dead or alive
Last seen in Red Wings and a four-wheel drive
Produced by Mickey Jack Cones (Joe Nichols, Blake Shelton), the high-octane track stokes the fires of a contemporary country-rock soundscape around Dusty’s commanding, no-holds-barred vocal.
“I love that this song sticks up for the little guy – family-owned farms – but at the same time, it’s about much more than that, too,” says Dusty. “The lyric celebrates so many different parts of rural life, from putting on camo to hanging up a buck rack.”
“I Don’t Wanna Be Right” is Dusty’s fourth song release since signing with Stone Country Records in March 2024. The Texas-born, Memphis-raised artist has surpassed 14 million total plays across all digital and streaming partners.
