Country Music

By Andy Allchurch

 

Country music is a southern religion

An easy flow with a swingin rhythm

And it soothes ruffled feathers from wearing thin

It’s a steady progress with wheels in motion

So eat the prairie dust don’t drink the ocean

And wave the flag for those who gave at Bull Run

 

 

If you aint country then you aint human

So don’t rock the boat go join the union

The spirit of the south will rise again

While singing country songs with music to match

We’ll drink bourbon whiskey and eat succotash

And go with the flow along the old Wabash

 

 

Good country music is a spirit that glides

Like a cloud in the breeze across the skies

Country music is in no need of disguise

The songs that are sung take a leading role

Like a cowboy showing off gun control

It’s something that stays with you heart and soul

 

 

 

Country music is a southern religion

An easy flow with a swingin rhythm

And it soothes ruffled feathers from wearing thin

It’s a steady progress with wheels in motion

So eat the prairie dust don’t drink the ocean

And wave the flag for those who gave at Bull Run

 

 

This popular music that’s based on American folk

Stands the test of time like the possum oak

It’s high on the hog high rollin smoke

The guitars and fiddles are made to look sharp

So the banjo and owl jaw harp

And their sound is truly a work of art

 

 

From day to day from morning to sundown

This southern country music can wake a ghost town

Bring life to the hearts all around

Step forward step back and step side to side

Pull a cork take a swig enjoy the ride

Country music dances and romances and installs a pride

 

 

Country music is a southern religion

An easy flow with a swingin rhythm

And it soothes ruffled feathers from wearing thin

It’s a steady progress with wheels in motion

So eat the prairie dust don’t drink the ocean

And wave the flag for those who gave at Bull Run

It’s a steady progress with wheels in motion

So eat the prairie dust don’t drink the ocean

And wave the flag for those who gave at Bull Run

 

 

Country music is a southern religion.
