Lyrics

We've been ridin' night and day just to get to the Grand Ole Opry.
We just stopped for gas and oil, we ain't stoppin' for any Smokies.
Keepin' those tires turnin' 'round
There's a sound check at 7:30

We're just 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry. We're just 9 miles away but it took so long to get this far.

The second coming of Floyd Kramer is on the piano
And the band leader's got the notion that his is Billy Monroe.
Ya'll come out and see us 'cause we put on a real good show.

We're just 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry. We're just 9 miles away but it took so long to get this far.

We two-stepped a thousand one night stands. Now we're playin' in the Promised Land. Yeah, Hoo, Roll it down!

We come from South Dakota and worked our way across Missouri.
We played up and down the state, did a weekend in Jefferson City.
Last night we played in Memphis. Now we're bound for Nashville, Tennessee.

We're just 0 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry, 9 miles from the Opry. We're just 9 miles away but it took so long to get this far. We're just 9 miles away but it took so long to get this far.
