Artist: marty stuart
Song: let there be country
Written by Marty Stuart
There are some misconceptions about where I'm a comin' from
Rhinestones and a hairdo, but have you all heard my songs
I'm an overnight sensation, I guess the joke's on me
Breakin' new ground for the future, meanwhile
Let there be country
I come from Mississippi, now what's countrier than that
Hit the ground a runnin' thanks to Lester Flatt
Now the old man had a saying about the way things oughta be
Boy, as long as you breathe
Let there be country
And there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly Band
Travelin' cross the country shaking hard working hands
Paying up our dues, we don't want it if it's free
Just let the music play and
Let there be country
There finally comes a time you've got to pass the music on
Changing of the guard and the new blood keeps it strong
Well, I love the masters who gave advise to me
They gave me mountains to move, meanwhile
Let there be country
And there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly Band
Travelin' cross the country shaking hard working hands
Paying up our dues, we don't want it if it's free
Just let the music play and
Let there be country
Let there be country
