Chasing Hank

These days, I don't get half the songs they play
When did country music lose its drawl
Whatever happened to three chords and the truth
Did our buddy get tossed out before last call

Not so long ago
The greats I would hear
Waylon's baritone is truth be told
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
Always brings a tear
And one word from Cash is worth its weight in gold

Too many of these new kids chase the radio
While L.A. takes ole Nashville to the bank
Remember when our music used to have a soul
In the good ole days we were chasing Hank
I wish that they were still chasing Hank

I know what's on the dial
Has probably gone viral
But will it have a life past today
If you call THAT country music
Get off my lawn
Cuz this ain't nothing Hank would ever play

Too many of these new kids chase the radio
While L.A. takes ole Nashville to the bank
Remember when our music used to have a soul
In the good ole days we were chasing Hank
I wish that they were still chasing Hank

Too many of these new kids chase the radio
Is that all Nashville's got left in the tank
Remember when our music used to have a soul
In the good ole days when they were chasing Hank
I wish that they were still chasing Hank
I wish that they were still chasing
Hank
