Country music got a hold on me
It bit me in the worst degree
When I was little heard a fiddle or a steel guitar
I started hoppin and a boppin like a man from Mars
Country music got a hold on me
It′s an affliction that won’t let me be
It′s a certain fact that’s plain to see
Country music got a hold on me
When I turned eighteen I joined a Hillbilly band
Rocked every joint from Maine to Alabam
Now people they’re a comin from miles around
Wanna hear me play that country sound
Country music made me what I am
Lord I′m a take-off pickin guitar man
When I′m rockin and a rollin I’m a sight to see
Country music got a hold on me
Well I got my guitar but I love my girl
My hillbilly princess really sets my heart a whirl
Buts she′s meaner than the Devil when I gotta go away
I got another show to play
Country music got a hold of my soul
I can’t stop now
Lord I′m on a roll
One thing in life holds a guarantee
Country music got a hold on me
