They're gonna tear down the grand old opry

They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song

They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry

Another good thing

Is done gone on done gone on

Well there were campers

And there were busses

Parked all around where there used to be a door

But that place

Called the grand ole opry

It just ain't there

Just ain't there no more

Ain't there no more

They're gonna tear down the grand old opry

They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song

They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry

Another good thing

Is done gone on done gone on

Right across from the wax museum they used to line up around the block

From east Tennessee and back down home again

All of a sudden there's nothing to do

Where there once was an awful lot

Broad Street will never be the same

I've been in love with the grand ole opry

And I guess I have now for a good many years

When I hear

The grand ole opry

It makes me sad

That it's gonna disappear gonna disappear

They're gonna tear down the grand old opry

They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song

They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry

Another good thing

Is done gone on done gone on
