Country Music Has The Blues

Well, I sure miss old Waylon and pay checks paid his dues

Ched Atkins on that red guitar, Carl Perkins 'Blue Suede Shoes'

Well, you just don't hear ol' Hank that much, without Cash we're all loose

Maybe that's why country music has the blues



Roy Acuff and Miss Minnie Pearl is who this country made

And all them cheating and drinking songs that made your poor bleed

The Possums, they gone missing before his turn is through

Maybe that's why country music has the blues



If it makes you feel better, blind me if you want to

Then I think country music has the blues



Merle Haggard, all those strangers, you know, they ain't heard it more

And old Buck and Conway Twitty, they used to pack that old dance floor

And Loretta and Patsy and Tammy Wynette, I bet, they ain't amused

And I bet they ain't surprised to hear that Nashville has the blues



If it makes you feel better, blind me if you want to

But I think country music, and I know country music

Yes, I'm sure country music has the blues
