lyrics

GREAT GRANDNEPHEW OF COUNTRY MUSIC

well my grandmas uncle road the rails and sang
he dropped out of his jobs and yodeled his way to fame
without him there'd be no country music thang
he died at 35 and jimmie rodgers was his name

jimmie rodgers was the father of country music
and he was my great great uncle
that makes me the grandnephew of country music
yeah i got a right and a missive to make this music

my pawpaw was in the army and later was a postman
my meemaw chased him round the country at 16 til she pinned him down again
they'd go kiss up a fog under a mobile oak tree
he didn't understand the words but said he liked my singing

my dad was born in a family of 6 kids
he's shy and his whole life is music just like me
i know the dreams i live are vicariously his
he believes in what i do and that means the world to me

i grew up in alabama on the side of a highway
18 wheelers lulled me to sleep and ditch blackberries by may
between the cottonfields and underneath a tearfaced moon
you drive and on either side tall walls of pine trees loom

yeah i got a right to make this goddam music
i was born and i was bred and raised right up into it
i even got the lineage if you want me to prove it
im the greatgrandnephew of country music
