I've been-- chasin' the big wheels

All over Nashville
A
Waitin' for my big break to come

Livin' on ketchup soup, homemade

Crackers and KoolAid
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

I'm a Nashville bum

I look good in cowboy clothes

And I sing through my nose

I smoke good old PA

Like the Opry stars, they say
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
A7 D
I'm a Nashville bum

Well, a friend of a friend of mine

Tripped and busted my guitar

I'm a Nashville bum

Well now, here's a song I wrote

By myself, note for note

And I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
B7 E
I'm a Nashville bum
Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
B7 E
I'm a Nashville bum
