In my view, rock n roll killed the country star right when Long haired loons started smashing guitars up upon the stage But I won't pretend that Ira Louvin didn't do the same With a mandolin, oh, yeah, Satan is real and his name's Rock 'n' roll my friends
But I swear to God, I won't let it fade As long as I can play guitar and these three chords are Drenched with the truth like mud on a boot I'll keep walking the floor till there ain't no more Rock 'n' roll bands on the internet
But first I gotta find a publisher A distributor, someone to ensure that My songs get heard a pro and a studio To record a few demos before I hit the road On a radio tour all across the land Where the Djs and I act like we're famous friends In hopes that they'll play my song some day And keep rock n roll music off the airwaves
Cause if rock n roll killed the country star I don't want to live in a world where George Jones Is some second fiddle. Or Barbara Mandrell, well She might as well never opened up that fontanel If all anyone cares for are degenerate bands In their tight leather pants and dumb leopard print Where are the snappy dressers in sequined suits? If no one steps up I'll be the one to do it
But first I gotta go to music row Somehow book a show without any of my songs On the radio. Then get a band a fifteen Passenger van, and if my agent comes through Maybe I'll get to pay them (God tier whistling)
