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 through my nose

Old Webb says thats 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's

He finally got me on the Opry show

I bowed 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
