I've been chasin' the big wheels
All over Nashville
Waitin' for my big break to come
Livin' on ketchup soup, homemade
Crackers and Kool-Aid
I'll be star tomorrow but today
I'm a Nashville bum

I look good in cowboy clothes
And I sing through my nose
Webb said that's the way to get 'er done
I smoke good old P.A.
Like the Opry stars they say
I'll be a star tomorrow but today
I'm a Nashville bum

Well a friend of a friend of mine
Is a friend of Op Devine's
And he fin'ly got me on the Opry show
I walked out 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 for note
With a lotta help it might make number one
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
