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 that's 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
