The Night They Killed Country Music Songtext
von The Bellamy Brothers

Well, the bull was buckin′ hard
And the scene was so bizarre
As a busload of tourists wandered in
They'd never seen a ranch
And most of them spoke French
And they all got up to see if they could dance

And up there on the stage
A band called Prairie Sage
Was tryin′ to keep the old ways alive
But the urbans, they wouldn't listen
Well, they bought t-shirts and went pissin'
Off all the locals for comin′ to this dive


And I was there the night they killed country music
I was sittin′ on a barstool cryin' in my beer
I was there the night they killed country music
In one evenin′, they destroyed, the last fifty years
inst
Well, they all wore Calvin Klein's
That hugged their tight behinds
The little golden corkspoon on the chain
As I sat there on the back row
Tryin′ to hear the dobro
I swear I heard one old-timer sing
Hear him sing

I was there the night they killed country music
I was sittin' on a barstool cryin′ in my beer
I was there the night they killed country music
In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
