Lyrics
They were like brothers,
thick as fire to a flame
they could be different,or they could all just act the same
One was a preacher
one was a diamond in the rough
one was a loner, one would never get enough
West Virginia,was their home and was their joy
this is the story of the Roane county boys
Beat up old pickup truck
take them on to the next country show
guitar pickers, Spencer girls would come to know
one was a singer, one was the leader of the band
one was a drinker, one who would later need a hand
Sneakin home through the back window, it's 3 a.m. don't make no noise
don't wake the daddy of the Roane county boys
There's no traffic lights in Calhoun county anymore
no more easy life
no more corner country store
no more guitar pickers no more saturday night noise
only the echoes of the Roane county boys
