Cheers to the Greats

Verse 1
Got my boots on the dashboard, a little dust on the dash,
Old Ford still rumbling down that backroad path.
Radio’s cracklin’ with a song from way back then,
Reminds me of simpler times, when mom and dad were friends.
Folks these days want pop in their twang,
But I crank up the classics, let that steel guitar sang, 
Because the greats knew exactly what to say.
Chorus
What about straight? What about Hank?
What about Luke, Brad and Randy?
Some hate country but it’s the simple things,
I sing about life and that ain’t no easy thing.
Here’s a cheers to the greats, do a burnout in the rain.
Light a campfire, strum a guitar and sing through the pain.
Verse 2
From heartbreak in Honky Tonk Blues,
To tailgates and cold ones under the moon.
Three chords and the truth, that’s all I need,
A beer in my hand and dirt on my jeans.
The new stuff’s fine, but it don’t hit the same,
As forever and ever, amen.
Chorus
What about straight? What about Hank?
What about Luke, Brad and Randy?
Some hate country but it’s the simple things,
I sing about life and that ain’t no easy thing.
Here’s a cheers to the greats, do a burnout in the rain.
Light a campfire, strum a guitar and sing through the pain.
Bridge
Yeah, raise ‘em up high for the ones who paved the way,
From Montgomery to Nashville, they’re here to stay.
In a world gone crazy, this music’s my escape,
Pour one more out for the legends we celebrate.
Chorus (final)
What about straight? What about Hank?
What about Luke, Brad and Randy?
Some hate country but it’s the simple things,
I sing about life and that ain’t no easy thing.
(Outro)
Forever and ever amen.
