ten year town - curtis grimes lyrics
when i pulled in to the home of country music
there was a worn out for sale sign stuck in the lawn
i tried my best to track down those who built it
but they all p-ssed away or plum moved on
i drove on down to what i thought was the grand ole opry
to find that stained gl-ss cast on some empty pews
i couldn’t hear whisperin’ bill or see porter’s rhinestones shine on stage
just an echo of how we use to be down on broadway
i’m decades late to a ten year town
the radio station done changed its sound
to a hip hop beat with a drum track loop
that they call country music
i came out here so i could write and sing
not rap on stage wearin’ skinny jeans
good thing i don’t mind sticking out of the in-crowd
’cause i’m a few decades late to make it in a ten year town
a honkey tonk use to be a tonk where a honky drank
now it’s a dance club playin’ top 40 from an mp3
i found out the hard way, a band’s been replaced by a dj
who don’t know “you never even called me by my name”
i’m decades late to a ten year town
the radio station done changed its sound
to a hip hop beat with a drum track loop
that they call country music
i came out here so i could write and sing
not rap on stage wearin’ skinny jeans
good thing i don’t mind sticking out of the in-crowd
’cause i’m a few decades late to make it in a ten year town
i came out here so i could write and sing
not rap on stage wearin’ skinny jeans
good thing i don’t mind sticking out of the in-crowd
’cause i’m a few decades late to make it in a ten year town
they can’t pay me enough to shake it
i’ve had about all i can take
in this ten year town
