Vince Gill - Take This Country Back lyrics

They used to be rough and rowdy And honky-tonk all night long When the Opry spilled out in the alley There wasn't nobody going home When they turned out the lights at Tootsie's And wind up at Cowboy Jack's We've got to take this country back We've got to take this country back We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits And silver dollar Cadillacs There's one too many dime store cowboys Muscled up in a cowboy hat We've got to take this country back Nobody wants to be Hank Williams Sing about he lost highway Well Saturday nights at the Ryman Those were the good ole days We need to turn the twang up a little Bring back the Nashville Cats We've got to take this country back We've got to take this country back We need a few more pointy toed cowboy boots And steer horn Cadillacs There's one too many dime store cowboys Muscled up in a cowboy hat We've got to take this country back We've got to take this country back We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits And silver dollar Cadillacs When we all gather up in Heaven How we gonna face the man in black We got to take this country back When we all gather up in Heaven How we gonna face the man in black We got to take this country back
