When Country Took The Thrown Lyrics

Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man

That loved to sing and play

He brought his music from the cotton fields

To the hillbilly hall of fame

Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers

Chiselhis name in the cornerstone

I just wish he could've lived to see the day

When country took the throne

Now a million songs have come and gone

Since we made that humble start

About neon night, everyday life

Love and broken hearts

And more and more folks

Kept tuning in and turning on

Now I can proudly say that I saw the day

When country took the throne

Chorus:

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York

They can't get enough of this country stuff

And they're screaming for more

We painted the town with that grand old sound

And the whole world sang along

Yes, I was there the day

When country took the throne

Now, no one knows what the future holds

But I bet my best guitar

There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter

And a Honky-Tonk on Mars

In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer

The best music ever known

They'll celebrate that age old day

When country took the throne

Chorus:

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York

They can't get enough of this country stuff

And they're screaming for more

We painted the town with that grand old sound

And the whole world sang along

Yes, I was there the day

When country took the throne

I said I was there that day

When country took the throne
