I was
going through some tapes
from my high school days
Those covers made me smile
The starched blue jeans, the hats,
and the bolo ties
Yeah, the trends might leave,
but a heart on a sleeve
don't ever go out of style
Yeah, country music
will never die
Now the sun's coming up
while the farmer in his truck
Has a prayer in his heart
and some coffee in his cup
Lord, let these crops grow high
And the sound of the revved up engines
in the factory parking lot
On a Friday night at five, yeah
Country music will
never die
Thank God For Hank
Wil liams
Thank God For Johnny Cash
For the ones
who knew the way
the common man was feelin'
Put it all in a song
so he had a way of dealin' with life
Damn right, country mu sic will
never die
That prom night regret,
those stolen cigarettes
Made you feel grown up
even though you hadn't left yet
The song that was playing
when you told her goodbye
And the one that makes you
wish you could go back
Spend some time with the friends
that you know back home
Country music will never
die
Thank God For Merle
Hag gard
Thank God For Dolly, too
For the ones who knew the way
the common man was feelin'
Put it all in a song
so he had a way of dealin'
with the light
Damn right, country
music will never die
Yeah, it'll go through some changes
That don't change the way
it makes you feel
When it hits you in the heart
It'll meet you right there where
you are
Thank God For Harlan
Howard
Thank God For Bob McDill
For the
ones who knew the way
the coming man was feeling
Put it all in a song
so we had a way of dealing with life
Damn right, country mu sic will
never die
