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 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 They're gonna tear down the grand old opry They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our Ong They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on 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
