Mark McGuinn - Bring'em back lyrics

Bring 'Em Back"

Let me take you back to nineteen ninety one-two-three

Garth Brooks was a heavyweight champ 'a the airwaves

The Muhammed Ali, and there were doctors, lawyers,

Bandwagon first-timer country music lovers

Redneck bikers, housewives waitin' in the same line

To have a big time at the honky tonks

Then Garth pulled a Bobbie Sue

Took the money and he run, but hey, wouldn't you

And the stock market crashed, and the meat went bad

And the old blamed the new for the music bein' so bad

So sad, when I thought it couldn't get worse

One by one, the honky tonks started bitin' into sandwiches

Made a dirt

CHORUS:

(So) (The) cowboys and cowgirls of the world (to) unite

(And) bring those honky tonks, (bring 'em) back to life

The dogs, the dives, waterin' holes-in-the-wall

Million-dollar corporate-owned line dance halls

They're goin' bye bye

Can't let 'em die-ee-eye

(So) cowboys and cowgirls (of the world) unite

And bring those honky tonks

Bring 'em back to life

There you go, I got it off my chest

And laid it in the lap

Of the two-step lovin' beer drinkin' honky tonkin' nation

As a matter of fact

Bring back the buckles big as hubcaps

Even the mullet and the handlebar moustache

Ten gallon felt straws

Way-genuine American-made cowboy hats

And bring back ladies night

All you can drink up, fellas, with your eyes

And you beautiful blondes, redheads, brunettes

You know you wanna get that t-shirt wet

Bring 'em back

(Repeat Chorus)

Just one more thing before I go

While I'm up here on my box of soap

There's some people I'd wanna bring back

We all miss, you know

Tammy Wynette, guitar Chet

June Carter Cash, Johnny Paycheck

Minnie Pearl, Bill Monroe

Bring 'em back

Back to Waylon, Roger, Hank

Bring back the Man in Black, I say

That's just a few of the greats who would want

<br />
