It's been way too long since you slipped away
I just can't forget, I can't pretend it's okay
No other one could ever replace you
So I'll keep on believing and dreaming of you

Soft steel guitar oh how I've missed you
Words from the heart let me hear you again
Sounds from the soul fiddle I need you
Sweet country music where have you gone?
Sweet country music please come back home

The songs from your memory I cling to today
I won't let them leave me, I won't let them fade
I don't care what they do, you're still the one
And I'll be here in Nashville till you return

Soft steel guitar oh how I've missed you
Words from the heart let me hear you again
Sounds from the soul fiddle I need you
Sweet country music where have you gone?
Sweet country music please come back home

Sweet country music where have you gone?
The airwaves are waiting, please come back home
