We Love You, Marty Robbins
written by: LB Sedlacek
Grand Ole Opry
Marty Robbins
playing long after
the show was
OVER
so they threw him
the
keys and told
him to lock up
my first trip
to see
the Opry
with my parents and
my grandparents
although it was
never my idea
to stay
so my time
was spent
climbing the stairs
back and forth
to the lobby
and everyone is
all gone now
except my Mom
who still likes
to listen
to Marty sing an old tune.
