here lies country music

Well here lies country music Had a damn good run It took its last Nashville lap around a Ring of Fire sun Jack Daniel's in the front row Right next to steel guitar The headline said, the cause of death was a lonely broken heart 'Cause you can't cheat on the radio Or be proud of where you're from Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer quit getting you drunk Yeah, the thing about all good things is they all come to an end So here lies country music Rest easy, my old friend, yeah It had a couple close calls With names that I won't mention But it stayed strong with Always On My Mind and Family Tradition Helped people through some hard times More times than you can count So you hate to see three chords and the truth, six feet in the ground 'Cause you can't cheat on the radio Or be proud of where you're from Trucks ran out of red dirt roads and beer quit getting you drunk Yeah, the thing about all good things is they all come to an end So here lies country music Rest easy, my old friend, oh I woke up in a cold sweat To my alarm clock radio A new song came on about a honkytonk drunk heart that just got broke And I said, "Thank you, Jesus" That dream was all made up And I pray that I leave this world before country music does When you can't cheat on the radio Or be proud of where you're from When trucks run out of red dirt roads and beer quits getting you drunk Yeah, I'll tell you some crazy words I never wanna say again Here lies country music Rest easy, my old friend And thank you, country music Amen --- here lies country music - HARDY
