Country music in my soul

I been travelin' down the highways with my guitar for so long
Pickin' tunes and meetin' lots of folks
Living my life my way with a handshake and a song carin' little if I was rich or broke
Cause there's country music in my soul people music for the young and the old
I'll keep on singing a song keep on keeping on cause there's country music in my soul
[ steel ]
Well I met a man in Illinois who came to see our show
He brought his wife and all his fourteen kids
Why he took the trouble Lord I guess I'll never know
All I know is I'm sure glad he did
Cause there's country music in my soul...
[ steel ]
When the final curtain falls and I go to meet the Lord
And he asks me what I think I'd like to do
I'll humbly request he seat people on the floor and let ol' Bill whisper 'em all a tune
Cause there's country music in my soul...
There's country music in my soul
Pickin' and grinnin' yeah there's country music in my soul
