Country Music back in ‘89

[Verse 1] Country music was great way back in ’89 Garth Brooks, not knowing if tomorrow would ever come Clint Black’s hanging out just to kill in time Desert Rose Band still believes in you Keith Whitley never was a stranger in the rain Earl Thomas Conley saying, that’s what I’d say [Chorus] Randy Travis’ love was deeper than the holler Alabama always living in high cotton George Strait was just an ace in the hole Till his baby got good at goodbyes and was gone Yeah those songs still play in my mind Like a worn-out tape from better times Back when country music told the truth And every line still felt like mine [Verse 2] Patty Loveless screams timber, I’m falling in love Ricky Van Shelton went from a jack to a king Shenandoah bragged about Sunday in the South Dan Seals drove big wheels in the moonlight Restless Heart had big dreams in a small town Sawyer Brown knew the race was on [Chorus] Randy Travis’ love was deeper than the holler Alabama always living in high cotton George Strait was just an ace in the hole Till his baby got good at goodbyes and was gone Yeah those songs still play in my mind Like a worn-out tape from better times Back when country music told the truth And every line still felt like mine [Bridge] Rodney Crowell still hurting after all this time Desert Rose Band knows she don’t love nobody Patty Loveless didn’t wanna toss us away Clint Black knew the lights were on but nobody was home Rodney Crowell says she’s crazy for leaving But we still turn it up and let it play [Outro] From the Song of the South to the neon glow Those voices still take me home Yeah, back in ’89 Country music was gold
