Well my daddy said girl if you want to go far You'd better quit listenin' to that steel guitar When you gonna stop all this foolishness? Why can't you settle down like all the rest? When are you gonna find something new? I said I'm hanging by a string that's all I'm gonna do Spend all my money on 45's Emmylou Harris and Patsy Cline I'll be a cowboy sweetheart wait and see Watching Porter and Dolly on the color TV I'll have those rhinestones before I'm through We're hanging by a string that's all we're gonna do Standing at the Grand Ole Opry Dreaming 'bout that Opry stage
We'll be guitar swingin' singin' girls Nothing better in this world God bless Country and the USA Now we travel around In a Toyota Corolla We're a two piece original folk rock band We keep 'em dancing 'till last call Spend all night staring at the hotel wall But if ol' Hank done it Wishing Chair can too You see we're hanging by a string That's all we're gonna do Standing at the Grand Ole Opry Dreaming 'bout that Opry stage We'll be guitar swingin' singin' girls Nothing better in this world God bless Country and the USA
