Nashville Cats, play clean as country water |
|
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew |
|
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies |
|
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two |
|
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two |
|
Guitar pickers in Nashville |
|
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants |
|
On a Tennessee anthill |
|
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two |
|
Guitar cases in Nashville |
|
And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play |
|
Twice as better than I will |
|
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a |
|
Musical proverbial knee-high |
|
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes |
|
And they blasted me sky-high |
|
And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun |
|
Record from Nashville |
|
And up North there ain't nobody buys them |
|
And I said, "But I will" |
|
And it was |
|
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water |
|
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew |
|
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies |
|
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two |
|
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one |
|
Mothers from Nashville |
|
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight |
|
If one of the kids will |
|
Because it's custom made for any mother's son |
|
To be a guitar picker in Nashville |
|
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about |
|
The music and the mothers from Nashville |
|
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water |
|
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew |
|
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies |
|
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two |
|
Pick it |
