bill anderson - country music died today lyrics

[verse 1]
i woke up this mornin’, rolled over and turned the radio on
moved the dial from left to right
pretty soon i realized something was so wrong
no fiddles were playin’
some dj was cryin’
and i couldn’t believe what sayin’
then i picked up the paper, i felt just like dyin’
when i saw what the headlines read

[chorus]
country music died today
lord, it finally crossed on over
it’s forever gone away
country music died today

[verse 2]
i thought of all the lovers and the losers couldn’t dance anymore
saw jukeboxes standin’ silent
honky tonks and barrooms closin’ up their doors
and millions were mournin’ the loss of an old friend
so much a part of their lives
from nashville to new york, from la to london
we’ll all share the same bad news tonight

[chorus]
country music died today
lord, it finally crossed on over
it’s forever gone away
country music died today
[bridge]
and then my sweet woman woke me
and she said, “honey, you’ve had a bad dream”
and a big ol’ smile crossed my face
as the radio played
and i heard ol’ george sing
for the rest of the night i stayed tuned into a country station
and lord i loved every song that they played
for the first time in my life
i think i realized just how lonesome and how empty we’d all be
if someone were to ever really sing

[chorus]
country music died today
lord, it finally crossed on over
it’s forever gone away
country music died today
country music died today
lord, it finally crossed on over
it’s forever gone away
country music died today
