While his friends
were rockin' round the clock

He was out back in his pickup truck,

were blastin' in the hall
Outside Carl Smith and Roy Acuff

and the Wabash Cannonball
That graduation speaker

told every boy and girl
It was their American duty

was Nashville, Tennessee
The home of country music,

cause there's no home to see
But he's in country music
