Country Before Me
It was the strong, the bold
Those that paved less traveled roads
It was the dreamers, believers and tortured souls
The lines they walked and the ones they didn't
Told 'em no but they didn't listen
We knew their lives through the stories on the radio
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
In the country before me
We wore coats of many colors
Crazy and coal miner's daughters
Fancy from an Oklahoma plain
We were country when it wasn't cool
Don't it make your brown eyes blue?
We were just two sparrows in a hurricane
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
In the country before me
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
Oh those roots they run deep
Those that paved less traveled roads
It was the dreamers, believers and tortured souls
The lines they walked and the ones they didn't
Told 'em no but they didn't listen
We knew their lives through the stories on the radio
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
In the country before me
We wore coats of many colors
Crazy and coal miner's daughters
Fancy from an Oklahoma plain
We were country when it wasn't cool
Don't it make your brown eyes blue?
We were just two sparrows in a hurricane
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
In the country before me
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Guitars were steel
And I still feel
Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring
Oh those roots run deep
Oh those roots they run deep
