| Well he outgrew his sequined suit
|
| Sold his Trailways bus
|
| Let his hair get a little too long
|
| His ducktails bit the dust
|
| His custom made, pearl-inlaid
|
| Guitar slipped from his hand
|
| And in its place a new electrical one
|
| He had flown in from Japan
|
| 'Cause he’s a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday-meetin'
|
| Brand new country star
|
| He rides around in a Lincoln Continental
|
| No steer horns on his car
|
| Oh the record men say, «He's the livin' end
|
| They’re gonna spin him right to the top
|
| Yeah he’s a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle
|
| He can either go Country or Pop»
|
| He’s got a good ol' friend name o' «Texas Ben»
|
| Tells him all the spots to play
|
| And a sweet little lady, he calls her «Sexy Sadie»
|
| She’s a' with the boy night and day
|
| They’re gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes
|
| The first one in his old home town
|
| And on ribbon-cuttin' day they’ll come from miles away
|
| The folks’ll all gather 'round and sing
|
| He’s a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'
|
| Brand new country star
|
| Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental
|
| No steer horns on his car
|
| Oh the record men say, «He's the livin' end»
|
| They’re gonna spin him right to the top
|
| Yeah he’s a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle
|
| He can either go Country or Pop"
|
| I mean, he can either go Country or Pop
|
