O.B. McClinton - The Unluckiest Songwriter In Nashville lyrics

I'm the unluckiest songwriter in Nashville I write the hits but miss the charts consistently I'm the unluckiest songwriter in Nashville I guess success never was meant for me Now I wrote a song called "Little Brown Apples" And "Raindrops Falling On My Ears" I wrote "Harper Canyon PTA" and "Help Me Make It Through The Years" "By The Time I Get To Tuscon" and "Gentle On My Thoughts" I wrote "Heartbreak Cafe" for Elvis But the boy just laughed it off I'm the unluckiest songwriter in Nashville.... I wrote "The Healthiest Girl In The Whole USA" And "Me And Bobby McGoo" "Country Highways Take Me Home" and "I'm Uneasy Loving You" I wrote "Roses Garden", "Knock Five Times" And "The Bridge Over Troubled Slew" "Sunday Morning Is Coming Up" And "Bad Times" I wrote that too "May the Snowbird Fly Up Your Paradise" And "Walk A Half A Mile In My Shoes" I wrote "The Green Green Weeds Of Home" And "A Boy Named Josephine" I wrote a song for Jerry Reed, I was sure I'd be a hit I don't know why the boy didn't like it I called it "When You're Hot, You Sweat" I'm the unluckiest songwriter in Nashville.... Now Ray Charles promised to do "I Can't Stop Hating You" I pitched old Conway "Goodbye Darling" Engelbert Humperdinck promised to do "Please Relieve Me" I think I'll just start pitching my songs to myself Come to think about it, I might turn 'em down too
