Up there on the stage

A band called Prairie Sage

Was tryin' to keep the old ways alive

But the urbans, they wouldn't listen

Well, they bought t-shirts and went pissin' off all the locals for comin' to this dive


And I was there the night they killed country music

I was sittin' on a barstool cryin' in my beer

I was there the night they killed country music

In one evenin', they destroyed the last fifty years
