Country Music got a hold 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
