Hank Williams Iii – The Grand Ole Opry lyrics

Well the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore
Did you know Hank Williams ain't a member but they keep 'em outside their door
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in 74'
Said the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore

Well they were nervous about Waylon cause he had a crooked smile
For many many years they never wanted Bocephus 'cause he's too goddamn loud
Did you really think they ever wanted Johnny Paycheck hanging around
Hell naw cause their too up tight wild
For real rebels like to get down

To most people listening to this it might seem like I'm talking shit
But if you look behind the scenes of who's pulling string well god dammit it'll make ya sick
Hank Williams still aint reinstated and I'll tell ya that's fuckin' bullshit
And if king Jimmy Martin if he was still here he'd tell 'em all to fuckin' suck his dick

Well they were nervous about Waylon cause he had a crooked smile
For many many years they never wanted Bocephus 'cause he's too god damn loud
Did you really think they ever wanted Johnny Paycheck hanging around
Hell naw cause their too up tight wild
For real rebels like to get down

And the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore
Well they done fucked off the people that made it when it wasn't shit before
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in 74'
Said the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore

Naw the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore
Did you know Hank Williams ain't a member but they keep 'em outside their door
Hell they didn't even really want Johnny Cash back in 74'
Said the Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore

You know it makes me wonder folks
Has the Opry sinned?
