Tom T Hall is forty now and so is Bobby Bare

Willie Nelson's gettin' 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
F C
Let there be country let the music roll along
G C
Let there be country and let me share the song
C G C
No one picks like Bill Monroe and don't George Jones sing great
C G C
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

Let there be country and let me share the song

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 let me share the song

Little Jimmy Dickens still sends shivers through the crowd

Mother Maybelle whispers now but the heart comes through real loud
F C
Gene Autry don't sing no more good old Tex Ritter's gone
C G
And somewhere downtown Nashville a young man just got off the bus
C G C
With a guitar in his hands a pocket full of songs
C G C
A lot of talent and a heart full of hope
G C
And he's gonna be the next big country star and the country wheels roll on
[Riff]
