Lovin' Country Music

[Instrumental Introduction]

Verse 1

I love songs by Mozart,

And a symphony or two.

I love those old folk ballads,

And Broadway singing too.

But when a steel guitar begins

To cry so sweet and true,

I tap my toes and shout out loud,

“Now that’s the song for you!”

Verse 2

I love to cross the ocean,

And visit foreign lands.

I’ve wandered through old cities,

With guidebooks in my hands.

But when my trip is over,

And my traveling is through,

I’m glad to hear a country band

Play something loud and true. 

Chorus

I love country music,

I love that country sound.

Give me drums and fiddles,

And guitars all around.

Sing about the good times,

Sing when hearts are blue.

I love country music—

Yes, country, I love you!

[Instrumental Break]

Verse 3

I love a tender sirloin,

Cooked exactly right.

Put some taters by it,

And I’ll be there tonight.

I love my home and motorcars.

I keep them shining bright.

But play a little country song,

And everything feels right.

Verse 4

I love my wife and children;

They fill my heart with pride.

Through every joy and sorrow,

They’re always by my side.

They mean much more than steaks or cars,

Or any grand world view—

And when we’re all together,

Country music joins us too.

Final Chorus

I love country music,

I love that country sound.

Give me drums and fiddles,

And guitars all around.

Sing about the good times,

Sing when hearts are blue.

I love country music—

Yes, country, I love you!

I love country music—

Those old songs and the new.

I love country music—

Yes, country, I love you!
