My memory takes me back to my childhood
Back to the early days of radio
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
And the song about the Wabash Cannon Ball
And my biggest dream was someday I would go there
On the stage of the greatest show of all
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family
For there's nothing like a good old country song
Now the Cannon Ball it was a great song
I still remember each and every word
And someday we'll all fly home to glory
On the wings of The Great Speckled Bird
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family
For there's nothing like a good old country song
For there's nothing like a good old country song
