Story behind the song
I've always wondered what Hank Sr, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and maybe even Bob Wills would think of the music they call "country" now...
Lyrics
V1 He walked over to the table filled with legends from counry music's past. Ernest Tubb and Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Bob Wills and Johnny Cash. Ernest said "What's on your mind Hank", so he sat down and his eyes filled up with tears. He said "The music we once made is all but gone, 'cause they've been changing it for years". Chorus "Now it ain't country anymore, nobody's walkin' out the door. They don't wanna play the fiddle and the lonely steel guitar don't cry no more. There's something missing in their songs. The cryin' heart-broke stories are all gone. There's a different song in Nashville, but it ain't country anymore". V2 He said "There's still some singers out there, that are givin', what we started, one last shot. Die-hard country warriors are stayin' true and givin' everything they've got. And each night you'll hear them singin' on the stages of old honky-tonk remains. 'Cause if the song don't live in smoky dim-lit bars, it ain't worthy of the name". Chorus X 1
