Grand Ole Circle
Darin & Brooke Aldridge
GENRE
They cut it from the Ryman stage in 1974
Roy Acuff helped to place it just right on the Opry floor
There's a microphone standing in the middle where the chosen get to sing
Boots and heels have walked into it, left some scuffs and scars
You can feel the ghost of Hank singing "Your Cheating Heart"
It survived a flood in 2010, there's not one show where it's gone missing
That circle can't be broken
It's always there and open
With a light on it for those who sing their songs
From Bill Monroe to Ricky
To Flatt & Scruggs and Minnie
Six feet of wood, it's been there all along
God bless that Grand Ole Circle
For all the years it's been
For dreamers just like us to stand in
We saw it from the wings behind the ropes and were amazed
At all the stars that held it up, never thought there'd be a day
That we'd walk into that circle and hear Eddie Stubbs call our names
That circle can't be broken
It's always there and open
With a light on it for those who sing their songs
From Marty Vince and Patty
T. Tater George and Tammy
Six feet of wood, it's been there all along
God bless that Grand Ole Circle
For all the years it's been
For dreamers just like us to stand in
It will always be there
It'll live on and on
Other dreamers will stand on it
Long after we're gone
That circle can't be broken
It's always there and open
With a light on it for those who sing their songs
Whisperin' Bill and Jeannie Seely, Loretta, Dolly, Emmy
Six feet of wood, it's been there all along
God bless that Grand Ole Circle
For all the years it's been
