| Well, I sure miss old Waylon and pay checks paid his dues
|
| Ched Atkins on that red guitar, Carl Perkins 'Blue Suede Shoes'
|
| Well, you just don’t hear ol' Hank that much, without Cash we’re all loose
|
| Maybe that’s why country music has the blues
|
| Roy Acuff and Miss Minnie Pearl is who this country made
|
| And all them cheating and drinking songs that made your poor bleed
|
| The Possums, they gone missing before his turn is through
|
| Maybe that’s why country music has the blues
|
| If it makes you feel better, blind me if you want to
|
| Then I think country music has the blues
|
| Merle Haggard, all those strangers, you know, they ain’t heard it more
|
| And old Buck and Conway Twitty, they used to pack that old dance floor
|
| And Loretta and Patsy and Tammy Wynette, I bet, they ain’t amused
|
| And I bet they ain’t surprised to hear that Nashville has the blues
|
| If it makes you feel better, blind me if you want to
|
| But I think country music, and I know country music
|
| Yes, I’m sure country music has the blues |
