I’m just an ol’ country singer Gold records all over the walls I sing in bar rooms and I sing in churches And I sing in old aging halls Love is the reason for music And music, the reason for me And I’m just an ol’ country singer Singing an ol’ melody I’ve got a banjo, got a guitar, got a fiddle and a drum I can whistle, I can holler, I can yodel and hum Love is the reason for music And music the reason for me And I’m just an ol’ country singer Singing an ol’ melody I’m just an ol’ country singer With honky tonk music in mind I live in hotels and I ride in busses And I leave em’ standin’ in line Dancin’s the reason for music And I’ve got a music degree I’m just an ol’ country singer Singin’ an ol’ melody Love is the reason for music And music, the reason for me I’m just an ol’ country singer Singin’ an ol’ melody Singin’ an ol’ melody
