Lyrics

WHAT THEY PLAY TODAY

I wanna take you back to a time when I was a kid
Must have been about 1965
Watchin? Flatt and Scruggs on the T.V. in black and white
If I didn?t get to see ?em my folks said I?d cry all night

What they play today, it ain?t country
It?s more like rock n? roll without the soul
Give me a steel guitar or a dobro
?Cause what they play today, it ain?t country

I was always into rock, like Zeppelin, the Beatles and Stones
I even played in a Skynyrd tribute band
Then I met this girl, she?d been all over the world
She introduced me to Hank Williams and his cowboy band

What they play today, it ain?t country
It?s more like rock n? roll without the soul
Give me a steel guitar or a dobro
?Cause what they play today, it ain?t country

This music should be sung sitting on a porch
Overlooking some babbling mountain stream
So I?m a?gettin? back to my roots, headin? straight for the source
So come along and join my rockin? hillbilly dream.

What they play today, it ain?t country
It?s more like rock n? roll without no soul
Give me a steel guitar or a dobro
?Cause what they play today, it ain?t country
