My memory takes me back to my childhood
Back to the early days of radio
Where i sat and listened to the grand ol' opry
And roy acuff singing from the soul

There's a song about the great smokey mountains
And the song about the wabash cannon ball
And my biggest dream was someday i would go there
On the stage of the greatest show of all

And i'm proud that i was raised on country music
I am proud that i was taught right from wrong
And i'm proud to be a part of this great family
For there's nothing like a good old country song

Now the cannon ball it was a great song
I still remember each and every word
And someday we'll all fly home to glory
On the wings of the great speckled bird

For there's nothing like a good old country song
