Long live Patsy Cline, "Strawberry Wine" Fiddles and a steel guitar Long live needle drops in a jukebox In a hole-in-the-wall dive bar Long live late night drives in a short bed Chevy Holdin' that pretty girl close Listenin' to the radio Long live country music Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights Oh, long live country music May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives Never die Long live rodeos, dusty boot soles Two-steppin' on a hardwood floor Long live the cover band rollin' in a white van Kickin' off swingin' doors Here's to that teenage kid learnin' B&D songs On an old pawn shop six-string With a head full of honky tonk dreams Long live country music Long live longnecks, bar stools, neon Saturday nights Oh, long live country music May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives Oh, never die Here's to the troubadors that tip their hats To the Hanks that came before them May that Grand Ole Opry circle be unbroken Long live country music Long live cowboys, cowgirls, neon Saturday nights Oh, long live country music May that three-chord dirt-road soundtrack to our lives Never die (Long live country music) Country music, never die (Long, long live country music)
