There was a group of little guys grew up together
In the fifties when rock and roll was hot
And every time they turned on a radio station
Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got.

And then one night they heard the country gentleman
Playing something new in a brand new way
Chet would you play?

--- Instrumental ---

Still hear him today.

--- Instrumental ---

Chet, you're the reason we're country today.

--- Instrumental ---

We only met but never got to know him
Till our first TV special years ago
So then we called and asked him
If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show.

And there we sat in front of all America
Like we used to sit in front of our radios
Chet would you play?

--- Instrumental ---

Still hear him today.

--- Instrumental ---

Chet, you're the reason we're country today.

--- Instrumental ---

Chet, you're the reason we're country today...
