You've been called America's poets
Who started out as a gospel quartet
You entertained on and off of the record
And your records we'll never forget
You've sold out shows to millions
And sang your parts in four matching suits
And accepted your awards and always thanked the Lord
In tuxedos and patent leather boots
So Carry Me Back to Virginia
And let us hear How Great Thou Art again
And if you ever hear the stage a callin'
We'll Even Love You Better Than We Did Then
We love Shirley Jean Burrell and Elizabeth
And Bed of Roses makes me Atlanta Blue
And Thank You World for giving us the Statlers
‘cause we'll go to our grave lovin' you
You wrote songs ‘bout making memories
And childhood heroes years ago
And then you met all of your heroes
And had ‘em on your television shows
But you never forgot where you came from
Or got lost in the fortune and fame
From Flowers on the Wall to the last curtain call
Country music will never be the same
So carry me back to Virginia
And let us hear How Great Thou Art again
And if you ever hear the stage a callin'
We'll even love you better than we did then
We love Susan when she tried and Elizabeth
And Bed of Roses makes me Atlanta Blue
And Thank You World for giving us the Statlers
‘cause we'll go to our grave lovin' you
America salutes the Statler Brothers
‘cause we'll go to our grave lovin' you
Lovin' you (Lovin' you)
