Lyric

When I was a kid on Saturday nights

Always listened to music in the moonlight

Talkin' to Daddy about the things in life

He'd tell me his dreams and I'd tell him mine

The radio we had didn't look to good

But those songs they sounded just like they should

Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash

Singin' every song like it was their last

I think we lost somethin' along the way

'Cause the music today don't sound like what they played

'Cause the fiddle's gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time

I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive

I wanna play my guitar and ol' Waylon smilin' from somewhere up above

Whatever happened to the music we all loved?

Yeah, whatever happened to the music we all loved?

Well, it seems to me we've made a change

But it's a mystery to me

How we can sacrifice our music

Just to sell a damn CD

Don't wanna hear music out to please

The big time business man

I wanna sing to the folks with dirt on their boots

And blisters on their hands

But we're stuck with this new sound they call country

And how we got here friend, well it's beyond me

'Cause the fiddle's gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time

I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive

I wanna play my guitar and ol' Waylon smilin' from somewhere up above

Yeah, whatever happened to the music we all loved?

Yeah, whatever happened to the music we all loved?

I'm just one man with my guitar

You might say I'm out of my mind

All I'm sayin' is the stuff they're playin'

Well, it just don't walk the line

If we could all hold on just a little bit tighter to our history

This crap they're playin', well it just might sound like country

'Cause the fiddle's gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time

I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive

I wanna play my guitar and know Hank is smilin' from somewhere up above

Yeah, whatever happened to the music we all loved?

Yeah, God bless all the music that we still love

- It's already the end -
