My memory takes me back to my childhood

Where I sat and listened to the Grand Ol' Opry

And Roy Acuff singing from the soul

There's a song about the great Smokey Mountains
G7 C
And the song about the Wabash Cannon Ball

And my biggest dream was someday I would go there
G7 C
On the stage of the greatest show of all
F C
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music

I am proud that I was taught right from wrong

For there's nothing like a good old country song

On the wings of The Great Speckled Bird
