[Verse 1]
Long live Patsy Cline, "Strawberry Wine"
Fiddles and a steel guitar
Long live needle drops in a jukebox
In a hole-in-the-wall dive bar
Long live late night drives in a short bed Chevy
Holdin' that pretty girl close
Listenin' to the radio

[Chorus]
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Never die

[Verse 2]
Long live rodeos, dusty boot soles
Two-steppin' on a hardwood floor
Long live the cover band rollin' in a white van
Kickin' off swingin' doors
Here's to that teenage kid learnin' B&D songs
On an old pawn shop six-string
With a head full of honky tonk dreams

[Chorus]
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Oh, never die
[Bridge]
Here's to the troubadors that tip their hats
To the Hanks that came before them
May that Grand Ole Opry circle be unbroken

[Chorus]
Long live country music
Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights
Oh, long live country music
May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives
Never die

[Outro]
(Long live country music)
Country music, never die
(Long, long live country music)
