Where He Always Wanted To Be chords by The Statler Brothers
Verse 1
D
A
D
While his friends
were rockin' round the clock
G
D
inside the high school gym
He was out back in his pickup truck,
E
A
pickin' up WSM
D
Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison
G
D
were blastin' in the hall
Outside Carl Smith and Roy Acuff
A
D
and the Wabash Cannonball
That graduation speaker
G
D
told every boy and girl
It was their American duty
E
A
to go forth and save the world
D
But the only part he wanted to save
G
D
was Nashville, Tennessee
The home of country music,
A
D
where he always wanted to be.
G
He checked into Music City
D
at the Sam Davis Hotel,
Bought his mom an electric picture
E
A
of the wo man at the well.
G
Just a short walk to the stage door
D
of the Grand Ole Opry,
He was getting a little bit closer
A
D
to where he al ways wanted to be.
Aw, pretty bird now.
He told anyone who'd listen,
G
D
I'm gonna be a star.
They'd smile and keep on walking,
E
A
Say, yeah, I'm sure you are.
D
He'd shake his fist and tell them,
G
D
Just you wait and see,
Today you are country music,
A
D
G
D
A
D
But tomorrow I won't be.
G
He's done everything he wanted to
D
and more than he planned
He's got two Silver Eagles
E
A
and another one for the band
G
He's got three ex -wives in Nashville
D
and another in L .A.
Gold records and a TV show,
A
D
and taxes he can't pay
Two kids he never gets to see
G
D
and will never get to know
But he's had 18 number
E
A
one records in a row
D
He never sees the lights of home,
G
A
D
cause there's no home to see
But he's in country music
A
D
A
D
where he always wanted to be.
