Nashville Bum
I've been chasin' the big wheels
all over Nashville
waitin' on my big break to come
livin' on ketchup soup
homemade crackers and kool-aid
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
I'm a Nashville bum
I look good in cowboy clothes
and I sing thru my nose
old Webb says thats the way to get'er done
I smoke that old PA
like the Opery stars they say
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
I'm a Nashville bum
don't bum me out
well a friend of a friend of mine
is a friend of Ort Divine's
he finally got me on the Opery show
I bowed just like a star
tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
well I'm a Nashville bum
well here's a song that I wrote
by myself note for note
with a lot of help it might make number one
you can change a word or two
I'll give half to you
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
I'm a Nashville bum
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
well I'm a Nashville bum
