Nashville Cats play clean as country water
Nashville cats play wild as mountain dew
Nashville cats been playin' since they's babies
Nashville cats get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes
Than the number of ants
On a Tennessee ant hill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
Guitar cases in Nashville
And anyone that unpacks his guitar
Can play twice as better than I will
Yes, I was just thirteen,
You might say I was a musical proverbial knee high
When I heard a couple new soundin' tunes on the tubes And they blasted me sky high
And the record man said everyone is a
Yellow Sun Record from Nashville
And up North here ain't nobody buys 'em
And I said but I will
And it was
Nashville cats playin' clean as country water
Nashville cats playin' wild as mountain dew.
Nashville cats been playin' since they's babies
Nashville cats get work before they're two.
Well, there's 16,821 mothers from Nasvhille
All their friends play music
And they ain't uptight if one of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any mother's son
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word
About the music and the mothers from Nashville.
Nashville cats play clean as country water
Nashville cats play wild as mountain dew.
Nashville cats been playin' since they's babies
Nashville cats get work before they're two.
