Country songs were first written to the rythum
Of a horses gate , pace n feet~
Thats how country music began
Horse n rider n song so neat~
Away back in those early days
The first cowboys often rode n sung~
What became to be a country song
Way back , when country music first begun~
They told in song of love n the woes of life
As sunsets slowly came into view~
Singing to the beat of the horses feet
And much later on to the likes of me n you~
That was the birth of country music
In the beat you can figure the horses gate~
And if it s not to the beat of a horses feet
It just aint country mate~
Goes right back to men so bold
The ones that opened up the west alone~
And sang his songs to pass the time
Going from or to or searching for a home~
That was the birth of country music
In the beat you can tell the horses gate~
And if its not to a to the beat of a horses feet
It just aint country mate~
