Lyrics

In a trailer by the schoolhouse you can hear the music play
the only stoplight in the county blinking time a mile away
the coal trucks rumble round the bend with all the windows down
and the radio is tuning in a high and lonesome sound

It's the voice of Pinetop County ringin' down the mountainside
playing country music for to keep your soul alive
maybe they ain't keeping step with the great big world outside
but the voice of Pinetop County will survive

Ruby's at the microphone, she reads the local news
eighty-one years old, she loves them country blues
ol' Hank and Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe and Patsy Cline
got 'em all on vinyl records and she plays 'em all the time

on the voice of Pinetop County.....

Some say the world is changing, I have to ask them why
that lonesome whipporwill still sounds too blue to fly
I still feel the rhythm when a freight train rolls on by
and I believe that some things never die

Children grow to leave behind the life their parents knew
go looking for a brighter place to start their lives anew
and I hope and pray they won't forget how deep the roots do go
and a voice that calls them home when they turn on the radio

It's the voice of Pinetop County....
