When Country Took The Throne Lyrics - Aaron Tippin

Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man 

That loved to sing and play 

He brought his music from the cotton fields 

To the the Hillbilly Hall of Fame 

Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers 

Chisel his name in the cornerstone 

I just wish he could've lived to see the day 

When country took the throne 

Now a million songs have come and gone 

Since we made that humble start 

About neon nights, everyday life 

Love and broken hearts 

And more and more folks 

Kept tuning in and turning on 

Now I can proudly say that I saw the day 

When country took the throne 

Now from Carolina to California 

Texas to New York 

They can't get enough of this country stuff 

And they're screaming for more 

We painted the town with that grand old sound 

And the whole world sang along 

Yes, I was there the day 

When the country took the throne, yeah 

Now no one knows what the future holds 

But I bet my best guitar 

There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter 

And a honky-tonk on Mars 

In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer 

The best music ever known 

And they'll celebrate that age old day 

When country took the throne 

Now from Carolina to California 

Texas to New York 

They can't get enough of this country stuff 

And they're screaming for more 

We painted the town with that grand old sound 

And the whole world sang along 

Yes, I was there the day 

When country took the throne 

I said, I was there the day 

When country took the throne
