Long Live Country Music
Long live Patsy Cline, "Strawberry Wine"
Fiddles and a steel guitar
Long live needle drops in a jukebox
In a hole-in-the-wall dive bar
Long live late night drives in a short bed Chevy
Holdin' that pretty girl close
Listenin' to the radio
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Never die
Long live rodeos, dusty boot soles
Two-steppin' on a hardwood floor
Long live the cover band rollin' in a white van
Kickin' off swingin' doors
Here's to that teenage kid learnin' B&D songs
On an old pawn shop six-string
With a head full of honky tonk dreams
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Oh, never die
Here's to the troubadors that tip their hats
To the Hanks that came before them
May that Grand Ole Opry circle be unbroken
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Never die
(Long live country music)
Country music, never die
(Long, long live country music)
