Backstory:

Country Music has been there from the start to tell life stories in song.  Many of the legends come from very humble beginnings, "from the bottom up."  This Nashville Country song was co-written by Clare Steffen and William Sherry.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

Hard times to the bitter end 

Country Stars are tried and true

Grand Ole Opry is our best friend 

American life facin’ the blues

 

V2

Heartstrings pull as they pass the cup

Tellin’ tales tryin’ to get along

Singin’ songs to keep a chin-up

Comin’ together made us strong

 

Chorus

Their Live’s a wheel of emotions

Leaves us spinnin’ round and round

And the circle is unbroken

Country music's healing sound

Real life, people’s stories spoken

Music from the bottom up

Muisc from the bottom up

 

V3

Carter family sings to us

We’re all singers in the band 

Take a ride on the tour bus

Travel to the promise land

 

V4

Classic songs record who we are

History lives on as voices rise

Mandolin, fiddle, or guitar

Notes soarin’ till they reach the skies



Chorus

Their live’s a wheel of emotions

Leaves us spinnin’ round and round

And the circle is unbroken

Country music's healing sound

Real life, people’s stories spoken

Music from the bottom up

Music from the bottom up



Instrumental Break





Chorus

Their live’s a wheel of emotions

Leaves us spinnin’ round and round

And the circle is unbroken

Country music's healing sound

Real life, people’s stories spoken

Music from the bottom up

Music from the bottom up

 

Fade Out

Hank, Merle, Johnny, or Willie

June, Dolly, and EmmyLou

Humble beginnings rising

From the bottom up

From the bottom up
