Karaoké I Wonder If God Likes Country Music Bill Anderson & Roy Acuff

One night we were out on tour

Gettin' ready to do a show

It wasn't anything special

Just another one night stand

When I looked over my guitar and there stood an old man

His cowboy clothes were frayed and worn and his boots were far from new

He said

I'd like to sit in with your band

You see

I'm a country singer too

Well we just all had a big laugh and when I looked back at the old man there was a tear in his eye

I told the band to cool it 'cos I didn't want to see him cry

He reached down and he took my guitar with a determined look on his face

But then as he started to play and sing a look of sadness took its place

He said I've sang my songs from Maine to California

Seen the world through the window of a car

I never saved a dime back when I made one

I always thought some day

I'd be a star

But now my voice is cracked and no one wants me

My wife gave up on me years ago

It's been so long my kids don't even know me

And pickin' and singin' is the only life I've known

And then he sang

I wonder if God likes country music

Will there be a place up there to sing my songs

Will He make my fingers nimble like they used to be

So I can play the chords and sing along

I wonder if God likes country music

I just stood there

Will there be a place up there

None of us really knew what to say to sing my songs

He took my old guitar and he put it down

Will He make my fingers nimble ever so gently like they used to be

And then as he turned to leave the band stood up and applauded

So I can play the chords and sing along

And I can still hear his words today

I wonder if God likes country music

Will there be a place up there to sing my songs

Will He make my fingers nimble like they used to be

So I can play the chords and sing along
