Country Revival - Slim Dusty

They say, «That country’s on the climb;»

But I say, «What the hell are they talkin' about,

The country has been here all the time.»

There’s a lot more people now admitting

They like country music after all

Now there’s dollar signs along side country music

It’s cowboy boots and hats for one and all.

They say that country’s middle of the road now

They say they’ve had enough of all this noise

I suppose the music wheel has turned full circle

Our ballads and our stories now enjoyed.

They say, «Our music’s having a revival.»

They say, «That country’s on the climb;»

But I say, «What the hell are they talkin' about,

The country has been here all the time.»

When rock 'n' roll came out and just took over,

A lot of music just went underground,

Then somehow rock got tangled up with country,

'Cause country music added to the sound.

Oh they’re singing songs they’ve only just discovered,

Just hear them talk about their brand new sounds,

But there’s nothing new about the songs we’re singing,

It’s just that country music’s come to town.

They say, «Our music’s having a revival.»

They say, «That country’s on the climb.»

But I say, «What the hell are they talking about

The country has been here all the time, sure it has

The country has been here all the time.»
