Hell he rode into Nashville to try his luck
Just a beat up Chevy, and twenty five bucks
You know he had those dreams about makin' it big
And he wasn't goin' to settle for just any gig
Big red letters on the back of his car
It said Jerry Fontaine and his jammin' guitar
Tried CBS, RCA, all them other letters
But they turned him away
Tried to get him a job down at The Tootsie's Bar
But they mashed him out the door
With his jammin' guitar
Grand Ole Opry, story was the same
He said one day you'll be beggin' for Jerry Fontaine
Go Jerry go, don't let 'em steal your dream
One day you'll be ridin' in the big limousine
All the little girls will be a-screamin' your name
Throwin' little kisses at Jerry Fontaine
He had hair like Elvis, a voice like Jerry Lee
Heart full of songs baby, just like me
Musta got discouraged, given it up
'Cause he left that ol' guitar in this hock shop
But when I bought it I got more than I bargained for
Jerry left his dream his jammin' guitar
Go Jerry go, wherever you are
And just??? care of his jammin' guitar
We may never make it, fortune and fame
But this is for me and Jerry Fontaine
Go Jerry go, wish you could see
All the little girls throwin' kisses at me
We may never make it, fortune and fame
But this one's for me and Mr. Jerry Fontaine
But this one's for me and Jerry Fontaine
