My memory takes me back to my childhood Back to the early days of radio Where i sat and listened to the grand ol' opry And roy acuff singing from the soul
There's a song about the great smokey mountains And the song about the wabash cannon ball And my biggest dream was someday i would go there On the stage of the greatest show of all
And i'm proud that i was raised on country music I am proud that i was taught right from wrong And i'm proud to be a part of this great family For there's nothing like a good old country song
Now the cannon ball it was a great song I still remember each and every word And someday we'll all fly home to glory On the wings of the great speckled bird
