Class Of ’89

Julian Austin/Stephen Robichaud/Barry Mathers/Bill Buckingham

The first time I heard new country

I was totally blown away

I heard Brooks, Black

Jackson and Chestnut blastin’ on the airways

By the time I knew what hit me

Garth took the world by storm

With too young to feel this damn old

A brand new sound was born

Then it was “Nobody Home”

“Better Man” and “Killing Time”

It was “Brother Jukebox” and “Loving Blind”

And the breed like them today

Still walk the line

They learned their lessons well

From the class, the class of ‘89

It wasn’t like old country

And not quite rock n’ roll

They took the both of both worlds

And made a pocket full of gold

From Tokyo to Dallas

From Toronto to L..A.

Everyone was listening

To what them cowboys had to say

Then it was “To Cold At Home”

And “Almost Good Bye”

It was” Here In The Real World”

“Wanted” and “State Of Mind”

And the breed like them today

Still walk the line

They learned it all so well

From the class, the class of ‘89

It was Travis and Joe and Tracy’s time

To turn Nashville upside down

When “My Own Backyard”, “Sticks And Stones”,

“Trouble” came to town

“If The Good Die Young”, “Alibi’s” and “Running Behind”,

“The Whisky Ain’t Workin’”, “Bible Belt”, “I’m Willing To Try”

And the breed like them today

Coming down the line

Learned their lessons well
