Lyrics
They Sang Country ..(for Me) J.S. Connell
Well the heart of Country Music, beats in Tennessee...
Yeah the sound of them old singers, breathes inside of me...
Merle, Hank and Conway, and don't forget ol' Charlie D.
Yeah they sang country to me...
'Round town the nights are filled with the songs of yesterday...
Like "Pancho and Lefty", and "He Stopped Loving Her Today"...
Willie and Waylon, Bocephus and Travis T...
yeah they sang country to me...They sang country to me...
Yeah, Cash's train was comin', comin' around the bend...
and that old Tennessee river, it sees Marty now and then...
Luckenbach 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 comin' on...
A.J. and Tucker, Skynyrd to E.T.C.
Vince sang country to me... Kieth sang country to me...Steve Earle's kinda country to me...
(spoken)
Billy Joe Shaver, David Allen Coe, Kris Kristofferson and Roy Clark,Charlie Pride and Dwight Yokum..
Sometimes I can remenice when I think about the songs of yesterday...
And who's gonna fill them shoes, when old "No Show" leaves the stage...
Well George will keep 'em straight, now baby while Garth's still takin a break...
Ya know I'm talkin bout Country...to me...
Talkin bout Country...to Me
Talkin bout Country... to me...
Country.....yeah, yeah....
