When my mind is all a clutter from living day to day
Your music is like a river, I can gently float away
When I'm deep in disappointment and I cannot face the night
Your music lifts me up and takes me closer to the light

Mother country music, let your sad songs roll
You nurtured me in childhood, you're a haven for my soul
Mother country music, let your guitars roll on
There's a refuge for my trouble in your songs

You helped me through the darkest hour, when I thought I was alone
And when I found a new love, you gave me a love song
When my circle is broken and everything goes wrong
It helps to ease my mind, when I hear it in your song

Mother country music, let your sad songs roll
You nurtured me in childhood, you're a haven for my soul
Mother country music, let your guitars roll on
There's a refuge for my trouble in your songs
Mother country music, let your sad songs roll
