Play me some country, like country used to be.
Sing me those lyrics with a lilting melody.
I want to hear some country. I want to feel that harmony.
Play me some country, like country used to be.
Play me some country. Play me Patsy Cline.
Sing me those love songs where we memorize each line.
I want to hear Hank Williams. I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Play me some Gene or Roy! Just promise me you'll try.
Yesterday life was simple. We all were family.
And singin' round the radio's my fondest memory...
Play me Hank Thompson. Play me Lefty Frizell.
Sing me the heartache that Tammy sang so well.
Play me some mighty Merle. I want to hear my favorite songs.
I'd love to hear the Everlys so I can sing along.
Yesterday life was simple. We all were family.
And singin' round the radio's my fondest memory...
Sing me some Brenda Lee. Sing me Dottie West.
I'd love to hear some steel guitar that country does the best.
Can you play me a fiddle? Can you play Bob Wills for me?
I want to hear some country, like country used to be.
Play me some country, like country used to be.
