Country Star

Way back in the beginnin' on the local radio Heard myself a-singin' on a television show Ten minutes later, rodeo came to town Got a job on a buckin' horse, jumpin' up and down Ain't that strange? It's a mystery Just another 24 in the 365 24-7, glad to be alive All I need is a motor in my car Crank it up, hit the road Be a country star I was raised by alligators in the Pearl River swamp Started out dancin' on a boogie-woogie stump Stump fell in, went to the bottom Fish said, "Boys, smoke 'em if ya got 'em" Ain't that strange? It's a mystery Just another 24 in the 365 24-7, glad to be alive All I need is a motor in my car Crank it up, hit the road Be a country star Fell in love with a woman who was half wildcat Wore a big diamond she stole from Lester Flatt We were gonna get married, but the law was on her trail 'Stead of honeymoonin' kitty went to jail Ain't that strange? It's a mystery Just another 24 in the 365 24-7, glad to be alive All I need is a motor in my car Crank it up, hit the road Be a country star, oh! Oh, oh-oh-oh!
