She's never in the spotlight
But everybody knows that she's the star
And once she shines upon you
She'll make you really 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 mothers tender hands he will
Applaud and feed the hunger in your soul.

And she's known as the grand old opry
Where the legend comes to call
She's the queen of country music
She's the grandest lady of them all.

She sing her desperado's
A lonesome whistle of the midnight train
And the coal mines of Kentucky
And how it feels to be out in the rain.

She sings of Texas cowboys, of hobo's
And upheavle and the loneliness of wearing prison cloths
But most of all she sing about the common people
Just like me and you.

And she's known as the grand old opry
Where the legend comes to call
She's the queen of country music
She's the grandest lady of them all...
