WHERE WERE YOU

INTRO

VERSE 1
Where were you when the Possum died, on his highway to heaven, Nashville cried.
I heard the news on the radio, they're saying goodbye on music row.
I love this man with ache in his voice, it tore my heart I had no choice,
The jukebox's playing Race Is On, he lived his life like a country song.

CHORUS
Where, where were yooou, his music will live on.
Where, where were yooou, his life was a country song.

VERSE 2
Where were you, in his darkest days, No Show Jones, had to change his ways.
Drinking his sorrows, wrecking his car, drinking white lightening from a mason jar
I grew up country, and had a blast, I love this man up to the last.
The jukebox's playing Race Is On, he lived his life like a country song.

CHORUS
Where, where were yooou, his music will live on.
Where, where were yooou, his life was a country song.

BRIDGE
His wife hid his keys, coz he drinks and drives, she knows his drunk,
coz he just tells lies.
So he drove eight miles, on a old John Deere, to the liquor store, to buy whiskey & beer.

CHORUS
Where, where were you, his music will live on.
Where, where were yooou, oh his life was a country song.
I said where, where were yooou, his music will live on
Where, where were yooou, oh his life was a country song, a country song.
