if ole hank

could only see us now

if he could see what we got goin' down

we got learjets and buses

chauffeured limousines

we done moved from the ryman

and opry's on tv

i'd give a hundred dollars

if i could know somehow

what'd ya think

if ole hank

could see us now

well nashville's got too rich

to sing the blues

they've traded in their cowboy boots for high-heeled gucci shoes

looks like they took the music out to lunch

their ain't a decent yodel in the bunch

if ole hank

could see us now

if he could see what we got goin' down

we got game shows and videos

and a lot of souvenirs

from machines and synthesizers ringin' in our ears

i'd give a hundred dollars

if i could know somehow

what'd ya think

if ole hank

could only see us now. it's still a long hard road but you know you're at the top

when the cma awards you

for crossin' over pop

i guess they finally think we've come of age

singin' through the smoke

strobe lights on the stage

if ole hank

could only see us now

if he could see what we got goin' down

we got learjets and buses

chauffeured limousines

we done moved from the ryman

and ralph emery's on tv

i'd give a hundred dollars

if i could know somehow

what'd ya think

if ole hank

could see us now

we spend two hundred thousand dollars makin' compact discs

and the record never scratch and never break

ver break

ver break

ver break

ver break.
