What This Country Needs Songtext
von Sons of the Pioneers

What this country needs, more than anything else
Is a good old-fashioned talk with the Lord
If we′d only try it, how happy we'd be
We′d never have time to be bored

Hear me talkin', brother, don't spend all your time
Wishin′ for the things you can′t afford
What this country needs more than anything else
Is a good old-fashioned talk with the Lord

Yes-sir, what this big ole wonderful country of ours needs
More than anything else in the whole wide world
Is a good old-fashioned talk with the Lord


I just think if a politician all over the world
Would get down on their knees
And ask for help in the right way
Peace and happiness could be restored

There's no use fightin′ with our fellow man
We can find the way to live in perfect accord
And I still say that what this country needs more than anything else
Is a good old-fashioned talk with the Lord

And after you have tried it, it's easy to see
A prayer can do much more than a sword
What this country needs more than anything else
Is a good old-fashioned talk with the Lord

A good old-fashioned talk with the Lord
