Lyrics I Love Seeing Country Music Be Great (Commentary) - Vince Gill

I'm not somebody that sits here and goes
It's bad, it's the, you know it can be whatever it's been
You know, I can to any era
40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's
And I can play you just as many crap records as there were great records
You know, that's just, that's what goes on
And you've gotta have, you've gotta have some records that aren't great
To give the ones that are really special the reason
To go sit above the, you know, the rest
And that's the way it's supposed to be

So I'm not one of those guys that it's only good
If it is this or that, I don't, I don't subscribe to that
I'm happy for these guys that are living their dreams
That play, and they're doing what speaks to them and
It's okay, if you know, it ain't my cup of tea
I probably wasn't a lot of people's cup of tea either
You know, and a few generations before me
That's not, that's not so much of an issue

At the end of the day
What I, what I love seeing is
Country music representated in a way
That makes it look great
That's all I ever wanted to see was
Somebody be great
If you're gonna take my spot
Okay, I had a nice little run
Had a bunch of hits, da-da-da
If gotta take my spot, you better be better than me
You better be great, you know
That's the way it should work, but it doesn't
And that's okay, too
