Marty Stuart - Let There Be Country Lyrics
Written by Marty StuartThere are some misconceptions about where I'm a comin' fromRhinestones and a hairdo, but have you all heard my songsI'm an overnight sensation, I guess the joke's on meBreakin' new ground for the future, meanwhileLet there be countryI come from Mississippi, now what's countrier than thatHit the ground a runnin' thanks to Lester FlattNow the old man had a saying about the way things oughta beBoy, as long as you breatheLet there be countryAnd there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly BandTravelin' cross the country shaking hard working handsPaying up our dues, we don't want it if it's freeJust let the music play andLet there be countryThere finally comes a time you've got to pass the music onChanging of the guard and the new blood keeps it strongWell, I love the masters who gave advise to meThey gave me mountains to move, meanwhileLet there be countryAnd there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly BandTravelin' cross the country shaking hard working handsPaying up our dues, we don't want it if it's freeJust let the music play andLet there be countryLet there be country
