    Remember when country was country. When everything did not need a beat. When lyrics came from the soul. Way down deep. When a life of sorrow and happiness made a song. Not a life of a "thug" pot and drugs.
    Remember when talent made a good life for someone. When a simple guitar tune and a voice of gold made a man happy and out of the cold. Now I see homeless men with more talent then the ones standing on the stage. Isn't this a sad world, when talent is hiding in the shade.
