From the recording BEAVERCREEK
Lyrics
Hey Country Where Did You Go
By: Howie Askay, Jo Jo Tubania-Askay, Keawe Tubania-Askay
Daddy grew up on a road of an old dusty farm
With a hammer in one hand and a guitar in his arms
He’d pull out recordings of The Beatles and things
My favorites were Loretta, Waylen and Jerry Reed
CHORUS: Hey country where did you go
Forgot that Ole Opry and Hank Williams Show
You sing about delusions of where you have gone
Just put me on some Dolly or a Merle Haggard song
We’d talk about the times when songs had lives of their own
They’d tell you a story and remind you of home
Today’s music seems to have nothing to say
It’s all about their image, money and praise
CHORUS:
(BRIDGE) I’ve been waiting to say
And at times wanting to pray
That someone would notice how we’ve been robbed
Of that old country and those country songs
My brother and I have a vow we must give
We promise to deliver what others can’t give
So sit down and turn up those old dusty songs
It’s time y’all remember to just sing along
