I Was Raised on Country Music © Roy Cooper 2010 Verse1 I Was Raised on Country Music Old Opry Posters graced my walls How I Loved them Down-Home Singers And their Soothin' Southern Drawls Chorus1 As a Kid, what I loved most Was a Pretend-Mic in my hand Singin' My Young Heart Out To the Radio's Country Bands Verse2 I'd pretend I was a Star And the posters were of me Singin' to that Ryman Crowd In Nashville..Tennessee! Chorus1 As a Kid, what I loved most Was a Pretend-Mic in my hand Singin' My Young Heart Out To the Radio's Country Bands... (BRIDGE) As I aged-a-bit...I grew me some Self-Esteem I'm a Singer-by-Profession, still Chasin' my childhood Dream Verse3 I’ve never lost my passion I do hope you'll understand I was raised on country music Light the Stage, start the band! (SOLO TIME) (TAG) I Was Raised On Country Music And have got a live mic in my hand So give me what I wanted And please start, start the band.
