When my mind is all a-clutter from livin' day to day
Your music's 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
[Chorus]
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 from my troubles in your songs
You helped me through the darkest hours
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
[Chorus]
Mother country music, let your sad songs roll
