Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

She’s never in the spotlightBut everybody knows that she’s the starAnd once she shines upon youShe’ll make you really proud of where you are.
She’ll wipe away the pain of all the dues you had to payWhen the curtain to her world starts to unfoldWith mothers tender hands he willApplaud and feed the hunger in your soul.
And she’s known as the grand old opryWhere the legend comes to callShe’s the queen of country musicShe’s the grandest lady of them all.
She sing her desperado’sA lonesome whistle of the midnight trainAnd the coal mines of KentuckyAnd how it feels to be out in the rain.
She sings of Texas cowboys, of hobo’sAnd upheavle and the loneliness of wearing prison clothsBut most of all she sing about the common peopleJust like me and you.
And she’s known as the grand old opryWhere the legend comes to callShe’s the queen of country musicShe’s the grandest lady of them all…
