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

It had a couple close calls

With names 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

Thank you, country music

A-men
