Chet, You're the Reason

(Don Reid - Debo Reid - Langdon Reid)



There was a group of little guys grew up together

In the fifties when rock and roll was hot

And every time they turned on a radio station

Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got.



And then one night they heard the country gentleman

Playing something new in a brand new way

Chet would you play?



--- Instrumental ---



Still hear him today.



--- Instrumental ---



Chet, you're the reason we're country today.



--- Instrumental ---



We only met but never got to know him

Till our first TV special years ago

So then we called and asked him

If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show.



And there we sat in front of all America

Like we used to sit in front of our radios

Chet would you play?



--- Instrumental ---



Still hear him today.



--- Instrumental ---



Chet, you're the reason we're country today.



--- Instrumental ---



Chet, you're the reason we're country today...
