	A song I wrote - my lamenting about the condition of today's music business - I obviously miss the good old days and the folks who used to go out to their favorite country bar or dance hall and listen and dance to live music.

	Story Behind the Song I've watched the music business as we knew it deteriorate to what it is nowk - this song is just me writing about the good old days. Lyrics The good times have come and gone away, guess I’ll lay this old guitar down today, I wish that I could lay this music down, been a while since folks been comin’ round. Twenty years ago the music rang, of life and love and sometimes sang of pain, The old jukebox in the corner, ain’t got no friends, he’ll cry tonight from a broken heart again. The stages are all empty, the dance floors cold and dark, A sadness seems to hang in what was once the rowdy bars, And to think of all the guitars that no longer get to play, Well my friend, I think the music died today. (Inst. like chorus). Think we’ll head out for a drink before I lay my head to rest, at the place where we spent years I love the best, I wonder where are the folks who’ve gone away, well I hope those times will cross their minds today. Well, friend, now it’s time to say good-bye, this old guitar and me we thank you for the ride, Hope the folks they don’t forget the years we spent together, you know our thoughts will be with you tonight. The stages are all empty, the dance floors cold and dark, A sadness seems to hang in what was once the rowdy bars, And to think of all the guitars that no longer get to play, Well friend, I think the music died today, Well friend, I think the music died today.
