Intro: G C G D x2

G C

The other day I took a drive out in the country

Em D

Driving south on eleven seventeen

G C

Ragtop down taking in that Texas sky

Em D

But all I could do was just think

CHORUS

G C

How long till there ain’t no more country

G C

How long till the city swallows it down

G C

How long till there’s no barbecues on Sunday

G C A D intro

With all your friends and family standing around How long

G C

What in the world happened up in Nashville

Em D

Its not the same place that it used to be

G C

Ain’t no more Hag Opossum or Stranger

Em D

Don’t know about you, but its worrying me

G C

How long till there ain’t no more country

G C

How long till pop swallows it down

G C

How long till there’s no dances in Gruene

G C A D intro

With all you country lovers just spinning around How long

G C

Ten years ago I had a big field by my house

Em D

Where I used to go ride my go-cart

G C

(spoken) When will people see that convenience ain’t always so convenient

Em D

Cause now that field is a super Wal-mart.

CHORUS

(fade out finger picking intro, end on G)
