It was back in '36 when country music came to town
Tex had wrote a few songs and he'd come to put his music down
Regal's on her phone "cut those early 70 ace"
And the man said on the wireless "country's really big these days"
Well we heard him sing about where the white faced cattle roam
And australia come to see The Buddy William's travel and show
Then slim hit the road, soon became a household name
They were singing back then 'Country's really big these days'
Yea breakout the fiddle risen up the bow
Like they did back then on those old time country shows
Cos we remeber our roots and the pioneers had paved the way
Now everybody's singin 'Country's really big these days'
Well there's been alot of changes in the music industry
We're on compact discs now, Country's on MTV
Ol' Tex and Buddy, wish they were around today
Cos everybody's singin 'Country's really big these days'
Yea breakout the fiddle risen up the bow
Like they did back then on those old time country shows
Cos we remeber our roots and the pioneers had paved the way
That's why everybody's singin 'Country's really big these days'
Yea from Perth to Goondiwindi, Country's really big these days
Yea from Cairns down to Burnie, Country's really big these days
