Aaron Tippin - When Country Took The Throne Lyrics
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)Just a skinny little mississippi railroad manThat loved to sing and playHe brought his music from the cotton fieldsTo the the hillbilly hall of fameThank God for jimmie rodgersChisel his name in the cornerstoneI just wish he couldve lived to see the dayWhen country took the throneNow a million songs have come and goneSince we made that humble startAbout neon nights, everyday lifeLove and broken heartsAnd more and more folksKept tuning in and turning onNow I can proudly say that I saw the dayWhen country took the throneNow from carolina to california, texas to new yorkThey cant get enough of this country stuffAnd theyre screaming for moreWe painted the town with that grand old soundAnd the whole world sang alongYes, I was there the dayWhen country took the throneNow, no one knows what the future holdsBut I bet my best guitarTherell be a jukebox jumping on jupiterAnd a honky-tonk on marsIn the last frontier theyll stand and cheerThe best music ever knownTheyll celebrate that age old dayWhen country took the throneNow from carolina to california, texas to new yorkThey cant get enough of this country stuffAnd theyre screaming for moreWe painted the town with that grand old soundAnd the whole world sang alongYes, I was there the dayWhen country took the throneI said I was there the dayWhen country took the throne
