Where Has All The Country Gone
[Verse 1]
When was the last time you heard Workin' Man Blues?
And thought about love and the hot afternoon
What goes on behind closed doors
I guess nobody's got the gust to cut them songs anymore
'Cause all I hear is pop when the radio is on
Tell me, where has all the country gone?
[Verse 2]
Doesn't anybody listen with their ears anymore?
Evidently not or else they'd all be sore
All this cotton candy cloggin' up the radio
Left a bunch of [?] without a [?] to [?]
I wanna hear somethin' with some meat on its bonеs
Tell me, wherе has all the country gone?
[Refrain]
I need some steel and a fiddle and I don't mean a little
So turn them guitars down a notch
Let's do some honkin-tonkin', let the bass man do some walkin'
A shuffle sure would hit the spot
Man, I need some [?] 'cause I'm jonesing for some jones
Tell me, where has all the country gone?
[Instrumental Break]
Aw, now that's country
[Verse 4]
Going any [?] larger [?]
Sit and have a drink and you'll know it's true
There's a lot of people out there just like me
Starvin' for a [?] and a three-chord melody
We just wanna hear the stuff we was raised upon
Tell me, where has all the country gone?
[Refrain]
I need some steel and a fiddle and I don't mean a little
So turn them guitars down a notch
Let's do some honkin-tonkin', let the bass man do some walkin'
A shuffle sure would hit the spot
Man, I need some [?] 'cause I'm jonesing for some jones
Tell me, where has all the country gone?
[Outro]
Lord, tell me, where has all the country gone?
When was the last time you heard Workin' Man Blues?
And thought about love and the hot afternoon
What goes on behind closed doors
I guess nobody's got the gust to cut them songs anymore
'Cause all I hear is pop when the radio is on
Tell me, where has all the country gone?
[Verse 2]
Doesn't anybody listen with their ears anymore?
Evidently not or else they'd all be sore
All this cotton candy cloggin' up the radio
Left a bunch of [?] without a [?] to [?]
