Let There Be Country Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Marty Stuart 

There are some misconceptions about where I'm a comin' from 

Rhinestones and a hairdo, but have you all heard my songs 

I'm an overnight sensation, I guess the joke's on me 

Breakin' new ground for the future, meanwhile 

Let there be country 

I come from Mississippi, now what's countrier than that 

Hit the ground a runnin' thanks to Lester Flatt 

Now the old man had a saying about the way things oughta be 

Boy, as long as you breathe 

Let there be country 

And there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly Band 

Travelin' cross the country shaking hard working hands 

Paying up our dues, we don't want it if it's free 

Just let the music play and 

Let there be country 

There finally comes a time you've got to pass the music on 

Changing of the guard and the new blood keeps it strong 

Well, I love the masters who gave advise to me 

They gave me mountains to move, meanwhile 

Let there be country 

And there ain't nothin' I like better than my Hot Hillbilly Band 

Travelin' cross the country shaking hard working hands 

Paying up our dues, we don't want it if it's free 

Just let the music play and 

Let there be country 

Let there be country
