Some things last forever,
Like tree-covered hills.
In a thousand years,
They'll be here still.

Some things are so strong,
They never die,
Like a river
Deep and wide.

And country music will live,
As long as people love good songs.
Country music will live, on and on,
If you sing along.

Some things get
Better with time,
Like friendships
And good wine.

I have friends
I've known since my youth.
They were raised
On country music, too.

And country music will live,
As long as people love good songs.
Country music will live, on and on,
If you sing along.

It takes time
For the seeds you sow,
But good things
Will grow.

And country music
Grows better with age,
When you sing at home
And on stage.

And country music will live,
As long as people love good songs.
Country music will live, on and on,
If you sing along.
