Grandest Lady Of Them All

She's never in the spotlights

But everybody knows

That she's the star

And once she shines upon you

She'll make you truly proud

Of where you are

She'll wipe away the pain of all

The dues you had to pay

When the curtain to her world

Starts to unfold

With mother tender hand

She will applaud

And feed the hunger in your soul

And she's known as the Grand Ole Opry

Where the legend come to call

She's the queen of country music

She's the grandest lady of them all

She sings of desperado's

And lonesome whistle love

And midnight train

And the coal mines of Kentucky

And how it feels

To be out in the rain

She sings of Texas cowboys

Of hobos and of heroes

And the loneliness

Up where and prison blues

But most of all she sings about

The common people

Just like me and you

And she's known as the Grand Ole Opry

Where the legend come to call

She's the queen of country music

She's the grandest lady of them all
