To most people listening to this it might seem like I'm talking s**t
But if you look behind the scenes of who's pulling the strings well god damn it'll make you sick
Hank Williams still ain't reinstated and I tell you thats f**king bulls**t
The King Jimmy Martin if he was still here he'd tell'em all to suck his dick

And for many many years they never wanted Bocephus cause he was too god damn loud
Do you really think they ever wanted Johnny Paycheck hangin around
Hell no cause they're too uptight while the real rebels like to get down
Well the grand old opry ain't so grand anymore
They done f**ked off the people that made it what it shoulda been for
Hell they didn't even really want johnny cash back in 74
The grand ole opry aint so grand anymore
