The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers - Chet You're The Reason lyrics

There was a group of little guys grew up together

In the fifties when rock and roll was hot

And every time they turned on a radio station

Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got

And then one night they heard the country gentleman

Playing something new in a brand new way

Chet would you play

[ guitar ]

Still hear him today

[ guitar ]

Chet you're the reason we're country today

[ dobro ]

We only met but never got to know him

Till our first TV special years ago

So then we called and asked him

If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show

And there we sat in front of all America

Like we used to sit in front of our radios

Chet would you play

[ guitar ]

Still hear him today

[ guitar ]

Chet you're the reason we're country today

[ dobro - guitar ]

Chet you're the reason we're country today
