Verse 1
Eb
Bb
Eb
While his friends
were rockin' round the clock
Ab
Eb
inside the high school gym
He was out back in his pickup truck,
F
Bb
pickin' up WSM
Eb
Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison
Ab
Eb
were blastin' in the hall
Outside Carl Smith and Roy Acuff
Bb
Eb
and the Wabash Cannonball
That graduation speaker
Ab
Eb
told every boy and girl
It was their American duty
F
Bb
to go forth and save the world
Eb
But the only part he wanted to save
Ab
Eb
was Nashville, Tennessee
The home of country music,
Bb
Eb
where he always wanted to be.
Ab
He checked into Music City
Eb
at the Sam Davis Hotel,
Bought his mom an electric picture
F
Bb
of the wo man at the well.
Ab
Just a short walk to the stage door
Eb
of the Grand Ole Opry,
He was getting a little bit closer
Bb
Eb
to where he al ways wanted to be.
Aw, pretty bird now.
He told anyone who'd listen,
Ab
Eb
I'm gonna be a star.
They'd smile and keep on walking,
F
Bb
Say, yeah, I'm sure you are.
Eb
He'd shake his fist and tell them,
Ab
Eb
Just you wait and see,
Today you are country music,
Bb
Eb
Ab
Eb
Bb
Eb
But tomorrow I won't be.
Ab
He's done everything he wanted to
Eb
and more than he planned
He's got two Silver Eagles
F
Bb
and another one for the band
Ab
He's got three ex -wives in Nashville
Eb
and another in L .A.
Gold records and a TV show,
Bb
Eb
and taxes he can't pay
Two kids he never gets to see
Ab
Eb
and will never get to know
But he's had 18 number
F
Bb
one records in a row
Eb
He nev er sees the lights of home,
Ab
Bb

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

where he always wanted to be.
