Nashville Bum I've been chasin' the big wheels All over Nashville Waitin' on my big break to come Livin' on ketchup soup Homemade crackers and Kool-aid I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum I look good in cowboy clothes And I sing thru my nose Old Webb says that's the way to get'er done I smoke that old PA Like the Opry stars they say I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum Don't bum me out Well a friend of a friend of mine
Is a friend of Ort Divine He finally got me on the Opry show I walked out just like a star Tripped and busted my guitar I'll be a star tomorrow but today Well I'm a Nashville bum Well here's a song that I wrote By myself note for note With a lot of help it might make number one You can change a word or two I'll give half to you I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum I'll be a star tomorrow but today Well I'm a Nashville bum
