about

A look at where our country music has gone and how we left our legends behind, along with the sound that made country what it was.

lyrics

I hear them songs play'n on the radio
They don't sound, like no country I know
Down in the hollers
Back in the swamps
Out in them lonely dusty towns
A moonlit night, horseback high
Is where you'll find country soul

Where did our country go?
Turned our backs and she was gone
Pop stars n false troubadours is all they know
Stole it from our legends long ago
Long ago

You've taken the heart and soul
Turned it into mounds of cash
Killing them roots before they could grow
How much of who you are
Is worth selling to them
Just to taste what doesn't last
All those fancy cars and record label suites
Won't be there to carry you to your grave

Where did our country go?
Turned our backs and she was gone
Pop stars n false troubadours is all they know
Stole it from our legends long ago
Long ago

How many of them
Have stopped to think
Just where this whole thing, got started
Sing'n songs with no heart ache
That don't speak to your heart or mine
Some are try'n
Do'n there best
Hey Hank and Shooter where do we go now?

Where did our country go?
Turned our backs and she was gone
Pop stars n false troubadours is all they know
Stole it from our legends long ago
Long ago
