Chet You're The Reason Lyrics - Singles - The Statler Brothers

There was a group of little guys grew up together 

In the fifties when rock and roll was hot 

And every time they turned on a radio station 

Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got 

And then one night, they heard the country gentleman 

Playing something new in a brand new way 

Chet would you play 

Still hear him today 

Chet you're the reason 

We're country today 

We only met but never got to know him 

Till our first TV special years ago 

So then we called and asked him 

If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show 

And there we sat in front of all America 

Like we used to sit in front of our radios 

Chet would you play 

Still hear him today 

Chet you're the reason 

We're country today 

Chet you're the reason 

We're country today
