| Well, I’m a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I’m gonna ride
|
| I’m a gonna leave this town till you decide
|
| Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
|
| Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.
|
| Milwaukee is a-where we were before we came here
|
| Workin' in a bruerry making the finest beer
|
| You come to me on payday night said let’s go to Tennessee
|
| So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry.
|
| Well, we were watchin' TV, Ernest Tubb was singin' loud
|
| I said that’s the man for me, I love him there’s no doubt
|
| I’m leavin' you and a-goin' now to find out where he’s at
|
| And if I can’t get him, I’ll settled for that bluegrass Lester Flatt.
|
| Oh, I’m a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I’m gonna ride
|
| I’m a gonna leave this town till you decide
|
| Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
|
| Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

|
| I’m a goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for a Olds
|
| Huh, I might get all drunked up and trade it for the Rolls
|
| But there’s a-one thing I know for sure I’ll always be blue
|
| There ain’t no way get drunk enough to stop lovin' you.
|
| So, I’m a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I’m gonna ride
|
| I’m gonna leave this town till you decide
|
| Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
|
| Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.
|
| Oh, Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee… |
