C                             F 
My memory takes me back to my childhood 

G7                        C 
Back to the early days of radio 

                                          F 
Where I sat and listened to the Grand Ol' Opry 

    G7                         C 
And Roy Acuff singing from the soul 


                                      F 
There's a song about the great Smokey Mountains 

G7                                   C 
And the song about the Wabash Cannon Ball 

                                         F 
And my biggest dream was someday I would go there 

       G7                            C 
On the stage of the greatest show of all 


        F                                  C 
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music 

     F                                  G7 
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong 

        F                                C 
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family 

            G7                              C 
For there's nothing like a good old country song 


                                   F 
Now the Cannon Ball it was a great song 

G7                              C 
I still remember each and every word 

                                  F 
And someday we'll all fly home to glory 

       G7                          C 
On the wings of The Great Speckled Bird 


        F                                  C 
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music 

     F                                  G7 
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong 

        F                                C 
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family 

            G7                              C 
For there's nothing like a good old country song 


            G7                              C 
For there's nothing like a good old country song
