Lyrics

Me and little Robert were headed home
From a family reunion up in Telico
Listening to the Whispering Bill Grand ole Opry show
They played Jimmy and Johnny and Marty and Meryl
The celebrity guess was that coal miner's girl
Show casing songs of the 50's on the raido
I said son how I love to hear those golden oldies

Mrs Loretta said you're going to love the next set
We got some Reeves and some Cline and some Jones and Wynette
But first we gotta take a short break and try to pay some bills
We're gonna start it all off with the Trubadores
I said son they don't make'm like that anymore
Those old country song give your daddy a chill
Oh how I wish they all would make a few new golden oldies

Now Bobby said dad all those guys are ok
But I'll take the country artist that they play today
Clint Black, Alan Jackson, George Straight and Little Texas too
Those old female singer had too much whine
Give me Reba and Trisha over them anytime
Dad I hate to be the one to break the news
Only old man time can make new golden oldies

Music brake

Now Bobby grabs the dial and he scans around
He said lets checkout todays top 40 countdown
Soon he had Bob Kingsly coming in strong
He said I knew Shania Twain would move to number one
Did you see the other night what she had on
I said yes I did son and you ain't wrong
You gotta know that one of these days that song will be a golden oldie

Now me and little Robert were headed home
From a family reunion up in Telico
Listening to country music on the radio
They played some that were new and some that were old
And some that sounded like rock and roll
Crusing through the Tennessee hills on our way back home
Oh how I wish some day this song will be a golden oldie
