They say
"Our music's
having a revival"
They say
"That country's
on the climb"
But I say
"What the hell
are they talkin' about
The country has been
here all the time"
There's a lot more
people now admitting
They like
country music after all
Now there's dollar signs
Alongside country music
It's cowboy boots and hats
For one and all
They say that country's
Middle of the road now
They say
they've had enough
Of all this noise
I suppose the music wheel
Has turned full circle
Our ballads and our stories
now enjoyed
Oh they say
"Our music's
having a revival"
They say
"That country's
on the climb"
But I say
"What the hell
are they talkin' about
The country has been
here all the time"
When rock 'n' roll
Came out
and just took over
A lot of music
just went underground
Then somehow rock got
Tangled up with country
'Cause country music
Added to the sound
Oh they're singing songs
They've only
just discovered
just hear them talk about
Their brand new sounds
But there's nothing new
About the songs
we're singing
It's just that
Country music's
come to town
Hey, they say
"Our music's
having a revival"
They say
"That country's
on the climb"
But I say
"What the hell
are they talking about
The country has been
here all the time
Sure it has
The country has been
here all the time"
