Songtext von Do Not Go To Tennessee

Do not go to Tennessee That is what my Daddy said But I knew Daddy was a fool I listened to myself instead Do not go to Tennessee 'Cause it would be a big mistake They will treat you like a dog And never give you a fair shake I was going out to Nashville; I was gonna be a star I would have my name inlaid between the frets of my guitar My videos would play on TNN and CMT And the fans at Opryland would stand in line for me And so I went to Tennessee I was successful right away I wrote a tune with Mr. Big I got a deal with MCA It was a Number One Hit Song Although it took a week or two Sometimes the wait seemed mighty long Lord knows you've got to pay your dues When I go back to Oklahoma Everybody says, "Ooowee!" Who would have thought a kid like that Could be on nationwide tv? I bought my Daddy a new home Out on Lake of the Cherokee He calls me on his mobile phone To say he's glad I went to Tennessee
