Play me some old time country, the kind of music that soothes my soul,
B7 E E7
like we used to hear when we listed to the Grand Old Oprey on A.M. radio.

I miss the sound of them fiddles, and the whine of steel guitars.

Take me back to when life was simple. Let me hear the old time country stars.

Play me some old time country, the kind of music that soothes my soul,
B7 E E7

I miss the sound of them fiddles, and the whine of steel guitars.
B7 E
Take me back to when life was simple. Let me hear the old time country stars.

B7 E
Take me back to when life was simple. Let me hear the old time country stars.
