I wanta sing
About the things that make me happy
I wanta sing
About my brother and my mother and my sister and my pappy
I wanta sing
About the things that make me happy
But most of all
I wanta sing about you

I picked up my first guitar when I was just eleven
Listened to them grand old opry shows
Well, I cut my teeth on gospel songs and good old country singin'
My favorites then were Acuff and Bill Monroe

What a beautiful thought I am thinkin'
Concerning that great speckled bird
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
They were the sweetest songs I ever heard

I wanta sing about
The thing that make me happy
I wanta sing about
My brothеr and my mother and my sister and my pappy
I wanta sing about
The thing that makе me happy
But most of all
I wanta sing about you
I travel all over the world singing good old country music
It makes me feel so good to hear them cheer
Some like for me to sing the hits I do on the Grand Ole Opry
And after all, that's why we're really here

Well, my favorite songs that are sung today
Are like Rivelle and Williams
Boy, oh boy, they really were the best
And when they sang their songs
People laughed and cried by millions
And here's the one's today they all request

Always late with your kisses
But your cheating heart will tell on you
I love you, I'll prove it a thousand ways
And that's why I got the lovesick blues

I wanta sing about
The thing that make me happy
I wanta sing about
My brother and my mother and my sister and my pappy
I wanta sing about
The thing that make me happy
But most of all
I wanta sing about you
Yeah, most of all
I wanta sing about you
