They Sang Country

They Sang Country

Well the heart of country music, lives in Tennessee...
Yeah the sound of them old singers, breathes inside of me...
Merle, Hank and Conway...And don't forget old Charlie D...Well they sang Country to me...

Round town the nights are filled with the songs of Yesterday...Pancho and Lefty and He Stopped Loving Her Today...Willie and Waylon...Bocefus and Travis T...
Yeah they sang Country to me...Yeah they sang Country to me...

Yeah, Cash's Train was Comin', Comin' around the bend...And that Old Whiskey River, has seen Marty now and then...Lukenbach Texas, Fort Payne and Bakersfield...Yeah they sang Country to me...They Sang country to me...Pick it Son---

Now Patty, she's Loveless, and Vern is Chisled in Stone...Montgomery Gentry feels a Cold One Coming On...A.J. and Tucker, Skynyrd and E.T.C....
And Vince sang country to me...
And Keith sang country to me...
Steve Earle's kinda country to me...

Billy Joe Shaver and David Allen Coe...
Kris Krisstofferson and Roy Clark...
Charlie Pride and Dwight Yokum...

Well sometimes I can reminisce about the songs of Yesterday...And who's gonna fill them shoes, when old no-show leaves the stage...Yeah, George will keep them straight now baby while Garth's still taking a break ya know I'm talking bout Country....to me...Talking bout country...to me...Country to me....Country.......
