Cody Johnson - The Fiddle's Gone

Текст песни

When I was a kid on Saturday night’s
Always listened to music in the moonlight
Talkin' to Daddy about the things of life
He’d tell me his dreams and I’d tell him mine
The radio we had didn’t look to good
But those songs they sounded just like they should
Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash
Singin' every song like it was their last
And I think we lost somethin' along the way
'Cause the music today don’t sound like what they played
'Cause the fiddle’s gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time
I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive
I wanna play my guitar and ol' Waylon smilin' from somewhere up above
Whatever happened to the music we all loved?
Yeah whatever happened to the music we all loved?
Well it seems to me we’ve made a change
But it’s a mystery to me
How we can sacrifice our music
Just to sell a damn CD
I don’t wanna hear music out to please
The big time business man
I wanna sing to the folks with dirt on their boots
And blisters on their hands
But we’re stuck with this new sound they call country
And how we got here friend, well it’s beyond me
'Cause the fiddle’s gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time
I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive
I wanna play my guitar and ol' Waylon smilin' from somewhere up above
Yeah whatever happened to the music we all loved?
Yeah whatever happened to the music we all loved?
I’m just one man with my guitar
You might say I’m out of my mind
All I’m sayin' is the stuff they’re playin'
Well it just don’t walk the line
If we could all hold on just a little bit tighter to our history
This crap they’re playin' well it just might sound like country
'Cause the fiddle’s gone and the steel guitar is fadin' out with time
I wanna hear a song that makes me believe a country boy can still survive
I wanna play my guitar and know Hank is smilin' from somewhere up above
Yeah whatever happened to the music we all loved?
Yeah God bless all the music that we still love
