[Verse 1]
Tom T. Hall is forty now and so is Bobby Bare
Willie Nelson's getting grey and Faron Young don't care
But the young ones keep on coming on, the old are slow to go
Let there be country and let the country grow
[Chorus]
Let there be country, let the music roll along
Let there be country and let me share the song
[Verse 2]
No one picks like Bill Monroe and don't George Jones sing great
I can tell that the people care by the people at my gate
Webb Pierce invites the tourists in and Ray keeps them away
Let there be country and let the country play
[Chorus]
Let there be country, let the music roll along
Let there be country and let me share the song
[Verse 2]
Ernest Tubb's got all of the soul he's had for all these years
Porter Wagoner's recitation still bring me to tears
And when they do play Kitty Wells, you know she's still the queen
Let there be country and keep the country green
Tom T. Hall is forty now and so is Bobby Bare
Willie Nelson's getting grey and Faron Young don't care
But the young ones keep on coming on, the old are slow to go
Let there be country and let the country grow
[Chorus]
Let there be country, let the music roll along
Let there be country and let me share the song
[Verse 2]
No one picks like Bill Monroe and don't George Jones sing great
I can tell that the people care by the people at my gate
Webb Pierce invites the tourists in and Ray keeps them away
Let there be country and let the country play
[Chorus]
Let there be country, let the music roll along
Let there be country and let me share the song
[Verse 2]
Ernest Tubb's got all of the soul he's had for all these years
Porter Wagoner's recitation still bring me to tears
And when they do play Kitty Wells, you know she's still the queen
Let there be country and keep the country green
