The Last Country Song

in AlbumPure BS

There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop

Where all the folks come to hear country music play

And every year the city's gettin' closer, Lord knows it won't stop

And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said

[CHORUS:]

This land was our land but Lord now it's their land

And we're still here, but not for long

So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones

'Til we've sung the last country song

There's 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel

All bought up by a builder from downtown

Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle

A big bulldozer's gonna take Hank's roadhouse down, so everybody sing

[CHORUS]

Will we play "Swingin'" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today"

It's really sad to see it end this way

[CHORUS]

'Til we've sung the last country song

Oh we've sung the last country song

Oh we've sung the last country song
