Country Music Has The Blues

Well I sure miss ole Waylon

And Paychecks paid his dues

Chet Adkins on that red guitar

And Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes

Well ya just don't hear ole Hank that much

Without Cash we all loose

Maybe that's why country music has the blues

Roy Acuff and miss Minnie Pearl

Is who this country needs

And all then cheatin' and drinkin' songs

That makes your poor heart bleed

Yea the Possum's done gone missin'

Before his time is through

Maybe that's why country music has the blues

If it makes you feel better

Blame me if you want to

But I think country music has the blues

Merle Haggard and all those Strangers

Ah they heard any more

And ole Buck and Conway Twitty

They used to pack that ole dance floor

And Loretta and Patsy and Tammy Wynette

I bet they ain't amused

And I bet they ain't surprised to hear

That Nashville has the blues

If it makes you feel better

Blame me if you want to

But I think country music has the blues
