No Country Music for Old Men

They told him to just fade away

  • They told him to just fade away
  • His time had past
  • And all his kind would die
  • But he remembers when Hank played the
  • Opry high as a kite
  • While Patsy Cline was out walking
  • After midnight
  • Well he saw the torch being passed
  • From Lefty to Merle
  • Now there's so called successors
  • But it's hard to find a hero in this world
  • There ain't no country music for old men
  • All of the good ones have died
  • Or just packed it in
  • Now there's posers and losers
  • And would be outlaws who
  • Only know how to pretend
  • But there ain't no country music
  • For old men
  • He was sitting on a bar stool
  • The first time he heard Jolene
  • A song by the prettiest angel
  • He'd ever seen
  • Back when Nashville was swingin'
  • And making them deals
  • While old Buck was out strolling
  • The streets of Bakersfield
  • There ain't no country music for old men
  • All of the good ones have died
  • Or just packed it in
  • Now there's posers and losers
  • And would be outlaws who
  • Only know how to pretend
  • But there ain't no country music
  • For old men
  • Loretta and Conway
  • Jones and Tammy Wynette
  • Songs about prisons
  • And passion and whiskey
  • That's as good as it's
  • Ever gonna get yeah
  • They call him nostalgic with
  • A permanent case of the blues
  • He just walks around wondering
  • Who's gonna fill their shoes
  • Lookin back on the great ones we've lost
  • He says why so soon
  • He shed an ocean of tears
  • On the graves of Johnny and June
  • There ain't no country music for old men
  • All of the good ones have died
  • Or just packed it in
  • Now there's posers and losers
  • And would be outlaws who
  • Only know how to pretend
  • But there ain't no country music
  • For old men
  • There ain't no country music for old men
