The Rhythm Of The Music

I don't have to be a Cowboy to sing Country
I don't have to be feeling down to sing The Blues.
I just let the rhythm of the music flow through me,
And that's exactly what I'm going to do!

Because I can sing Country, and I can sing The Blues,
Though I've never owned a Pickup Truck,
Or a pair of Blue Suede Shoes.
It's not the life you live, it's the way your heart feels,
Just listen to the music, then you'll know how I feel.

Singing about the Southland, or the City Streets you once knew.
When the music flows through you, you'll know just what to do.
Sing about loves won and lost, good times and good friends.
Sing about the dreams you've had, or the times you're sad.

Now you may not give a damn about Country,
You may not give a damn about The Blues,
But the rhythm of the music is reaching out to you.
Sing songs about what you know,
Sing songs about what you love,
And let the music flow through you,
From down below or up above.

Because You don't have to be a Cowboy to sing Country
You don't have to be feeling down to sing The Blues.
Just let the rhythm of the music flow through you
And that's exactly what you should do.
