They Played It Gene Watson

[Verse 1]
Pig's piano, Pete Drake's steel
You may not know them, but you know the feel
Of a Bob Moore bass run, Buddy Harman on the drums
The singers sang it, but they played it

[Chorus]
They played in 4-4 time
They played the 1-4-5
Didn't always make the credits
Their names weren't up in lights
But down on Music Row
They made magic in the studio
Every country song you know
They played it

[Verse 2]
Texas twin fiddles, a lonesome steel ride
Good country music can make you laugh or make you cry
Help you two-step with your sweetheart, drink a beer on Friday nights
When you feel something insidе, they played it

[Chorus]
They playеd in 4-4 time
They played the 1-4-5
Didn't always make the credits
Their names weren't up in lights
But down on Music Row
They made magic in the studio
Every country song you know
They played it
