Lyrics
The Chipmunks:
When my money's low
And life's a bunch of zeros
I turn on my radio
And listen to my heroes
We got cowboy heroes like ol' Gene Autry
Got a home for it all down at the grand Ole Opry
You can go walkin' through the Hall of Fame
And one by one, remember the names
Willie Nelson, Jimmie Rodgers, and Red Sovine
Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Patsy Cline
George Jones and Tammy and a great pair of Judds
And Hank Jr. sang with Sr. on an overdub
Whenever this world starts gettin' me down
Holdin' me back, makin' me frown
I need some music from Guitar Town
Come on play me a country song
George Strait on tape is great for any trucker
Out on Highway 101, let's hear some Tanya Tucker
Kenny and Dolly, Travis Tritt or Marty Stuart
They know country, they can really get to it
Country colors are shades of Sawyer Brown
Red Foley, Lee Greenwood, I love all those sounds
I get hungry for some country when I think of Jimmie Dean
Then I get a Reba Mac attack, my appetite's obscene
Whenever this world starts gettin' me down
Holdin' me back makin' me frown
I need some music from Guitar Town
Come on play me a country song
Now Garth Brooks, he is up on top
Alan Jackson's got his own jukebox
And you know Clint Black is where it's at
When he's singing those songs from underneath his hat
Ain't nothin' wrong with Aaron Tippin
Young Dwight Yoakam or root beer sippin'
Trisha won't be lonely and Patty's never Loveless
With an achy breaky heart like ol Billy Ray Cyrus
Whenever this world starts gettin' me down
Holden me back makin' me frown
I need some music from Guitar Town
Come on play me a country song
Come on play me a country song
Come on play me a country song
Yeah
