"Chet, You're The Reason" lyrics - THE STATLER BROTHERS

There was a group of little guys grew up together
In the fifties when rock and roll was hot
And every time they turned on a radio station
Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got
And then one night they heard the country gentleman
Playing something new in a brand new way
Chet would you play

[Guitar]

Still hear him today

[Guitar]

Chet you're the reason we're country today

[Dobro]

We only met but never got to know him
Till our first TV special years ago
So then we called and asked him
If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show
And there we sat in front of all America
Like we used to sit in front of our radios
Chet would you play

[Guitar]

Still hear him today

[Guitar]

Chet you're the reason we're country today

[dobro - guitar]

Chet you're the reason we're country today
