- Roy Acuff - I Wonder If God Likes Country Music Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- One night we were out on tour,
- Getting ready to do a show.
- It wasn't anything special,
- Just another one night stand.
- When I looked over my guitar,
- And there stood an old man.
- His cowboy clothes were frayed and worn,
- An' his boots were far from new.
- He said: "I'd like to sit in with your band.
- "You see I'm a country singer too."
- Well, we just all had a big laugh.
- And when I looked back at the old man,
- There was a tear in his eye.
- I told the band to cool it 'cause I didn't want to see him cry.
- He reached down an' he took my guitar,
- With a determined look on his face.
- But then as he started to play an' sing,
- A look of sadness took it's place.
- He said: "I've sang my songs from Maine to California.
- "Seen the world through the window of a car.
- "I never saved a dime back when I made one.
- "'Cause I always thought some day I'd be a star."
- "But now my voice is cracked and no one wants me.
- "My wife gave up on me years ago.
- "It's been so long my kids don't even know me.
- "And pickin' and singin' is the only life I've known."
- And then he sang: "I wonder if God likes country music.
- "Will there be a place up there to sing my songs?
- "Will he make my fingers nimble like they used to be,
- "So I can play the chords and sing along?"
- ("I wonder if God likes country music.")
- I just stood there.
- ("Will there be a place up there,)
- None of us really knew what to say.
- (To sing my songs?")
- He took my old guitar,
- ("Will he make my fingers nimble,)
- And he put it down ever so gently.
- ("Like they used to be?")
- And then as he turned to leave,
- ("So I can play the chords,)
- The band stood up and applauded
- ("And sing along?")
- And I can still hear his words today.
- "I wonder if God likes country music.
- "Will there be a place up there to sing my songs?
- "Will he make my fingers nimble like they used to be,
- "So I can play the chords and sing along?"
