The Last Country Song lyrics

There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
And every year the city s gettin closer, Lord knows it won t stop
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said

[CHORUS:]

This land was our land but Lord now it s their land
And we re still here, but not for long
So let s raise a cold one and play all the old ones
Til we ve sung the last country song

There s 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer s gonna take Hank s roadhouse down, so everybody sing

[CHORUS]

Will we play "Swingin " or "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
It s really sad to see it end this way

[CHORUS]

Til we ve sung the last country song
Oh we ve sung the last country song
Oh we ve sung the last country song
