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 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 For there's nothing like a good old country song
