Nashville Bum

Waylon Jennings · Destiny's Child [Bear Family] [1999]

(Waylon Jennings - Ray Corbin - Miller)



I've been chasin' the big wheels all over Nashville

Waitin' for my big break to come

Livin' on ketchup soup homemade crackers and coolaid

I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.



I love good and cowboy clothes and I sing through my nose

Webb said that's the way that getter done

I smoke good old PA like the Opry stars they say

I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, a friend of a friend of mine is a friend of art divider

And he finally got me on the Opry show

I'll walk up like a star tripped and busted my guitar

I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.



Well now here's a song I wrote by myself note to note

With a lot of help it might make No 1

You can change a word or two and I'll give half of it to you

I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.



Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum...
