Verse 1: ------------ The stage is set tonight down in Nashville It’s been a long hard ride into town And thanks to some cowboys and heros             My chance to sing has finally come around          Verse 2: ------------ The first song I ever sang was haggard    Momma sang to me I saw the Light          I’d turn my radio up louder   To hear Johnny Cash walk the line          Verse 3: ------------ Waylon sang a song about Texas        Willie’s "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"        Bocephus sings a song about dixie.         Lefty taught us all how to sing.    Hats off to hard riding cowboys Riding some where tonight   Hats off to hard riding cowboys Wanted dead or alive   Verse 4: ------------ Charlie ran the devil out of Georgia Skynyrd sang sweet home Alabam        The Ahlman brothers taught us how to ramble           And to Tucker boys showed us how to jam.              Repeat Chorus 1 Verse 5: ------------ The stage is set tonight up in Heaven     Rebas band is there with Patsy Cline         And all around are cowboys and cowgirls       And thanks to them the music’s still alive          Chorus 2: ------------ Hats off to hard riding cowboys Flying somewhere tonight   Hats off to hard fighting cowboys Wanted dead or alive   Repeat chorus 2 and fade.
