Country Music in My Soul

(Bobby Bond)



I been travelin' down the highways

With my guitar for so long

Pickin' tunes and meetin' lots of folks

Living my life my way

With a handshake and a song

Carin' little if I was rich or broke.



'Cause there's country music in my soul

People music for the young and the old

I'll keep on singing a song, keep on keeping on

'Cause there's country music in my soul.

Well, I met a man in Illinois

Who came to see our show

He brought his wife and all his fourteen kids

Why he took the trouble, Lord

I guess I'll never know

All I know is I'm sure glad he did.



'Cause there's country music in my soul

People music for the young and the old

I'll keep on singing a song, keep on keeping on

'Cause there's country music in my soul.

When the final curtain falls

And I go to meet the Lord

And he asks me what I think I'd like to do

I'll humbly request he seat people on the floor

And let ol' Bill whisper 'em all a tune.



'Cause there's country music in my soul

People music for the young and the old

I'll keep on singing a song, keep on keeping on

'Cause there's country music in my soul.



There's country music in my soul

Pickin' and grinnin'

Yeah, there's country music in my soul...
