Lyric
When my mind is all a clutter from living day to dayYour music is like a river, I can gently float awayWhen I’m deep in disappointment and I cannot face the nightYour music lifts me up and takes me closer to the lightMother country music, let your sad songs rollYou nurtured me in childhood, you’re a haven for my soulMother country music, let your guitars roll onThere’s a refuge from my trouble in your songsYou helped me through the darkest hour, when I thought I was aloneAnd when I found a new love, you gave me a love songWhen my circle is broken and everything goes wrongIt helps to ease my mind, when I hear it in your songMother country music, let your sad songs rollYou nurtured me in childhood, you’re a haven for my soulMother country music, let your guitars roll onThere’s a refuge from my trouble in your songsMother country music, let your sad songs roll
