Country Music Blues

D G D

I’ve listened to music for most of my life

D E7 A

And I know the difference between wrong and right

D G D

But one thing I noticed that stands out the most

D A D

What used to be rap is called country radio

My Uncle would sing for us, I Walk The Line

I’d listen and stare, he’d play Gentle On My Mind

I was Almost Persuaded to choose rock & roll

But the Statler’s brought me back with Counting Flowers On The Wall

Chorus:

G D

Where are the heroes, like Haggard & Jones

D A

I’d much rather listen to Diggin’ Up Bones

D G D

Lefty and Hank wouldn’t have it this way

D A D

And Conway would soothe me with Play Guitar Play

The Blind Man In The Bleachers brought tears to my eyes

And Waylon was singin’ ‘bout The Wurlitzer Prize

Convoy and Teddy Bear became instant hits

With all of the truckers on their long trips

Kern River is burned into my memory

Gene Watson told me about Paper Rosie

Marina Del Ray is where I heard George Strait

And John Anderson’s Gonna Be A Diamond Someday

Chorus

I know times will change and music does too

But I never felt like I was being so screwed

But I got my CD’s and I guarantee

I’ll take my country like Hank Williams III (three)

Chorus 2:

Where are the heroes, like Waylon and Willie

I’d much rather hear If This Drinkin' Don't Kill Me

Old Hank and Lefty wouldn’t have it this way

And Conway would soothe me with Play Guitar Play

Conway would soothe me with...

(stop - break into Play Guitar Play by Conway Twitty)

Play, Guitar play

Take me back to yesterday
