I sure miss ol Waylon and Paycheck’s paid his dues Chet Atkins on that red guitar Carl Perkins blue suede shoes Well you just don’t hear old 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 make your poor heart bleed   Yeah the Possum’s done gone missin before his time was through   Maybe that’s why country music has the blues Chorus 1: 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 you know they ain’t heard anymore And old Buck and Conway Twitty they used to pack that old dance floor   And Loretta Patsy and Tammy Wynette I bet they ain’t amused   And I bet they aint suprised to hear that Nashville has the blues Chorus 2: If it makes you feel better blame me if you want to   but I think country music and I know country music   Yeah I’m sure country music has the blues
