  • Well I sure miss ole Waylon
    And paychecks paid his dues
    Chet Adkins on that red guitar
    And Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes
    Well ya just don't hear ole Hank that much
    Without Cash we all lose
    Maybe that's why country music has the blues

    Roy Acuff and miss Minnie Pearl
    Is who this country needs
    And all them cheatin' and drinkin' songs
    That makes your poor heart bleed
    Yea the Possum's done gone missin'
    Before his time is through
    Maybe that's why country music has the blues

    If it makes you feel better
    Blame me if you want to
    But I think country music has the blues

    Merle Haggard and all those Strangers
    Ah they heard any more
    And ole Buck and Conway Twitty
    They used to pack that ole dance floor
    And Loretta and Patsy and Tammy Wynette
    I bet they ain't amused
    And I bet they ain't surprised to hear
    That Nashville has the blues

    If it makes you feel better
    Blame me if you want to
    But I think country music has the blues Writer/s: Billy Cyrus
