We do our pickin' and we do our grinin' For ten thousand dollars a show We get all kinds of thrills from all kinds of deals But the one we never knew Is the one that'll getcha when you get yer pitcher On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS MUSIC CITY NEWS Gonna see my pitcher on the cover NEWS Gonna buy five copies for my mother NEWS Gonna see my smilin' face On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS Got a big long bus with a driver named GUS That shines our cowboy boots (that's right) Got a custom made car with a built-in bar And a closet full of NUDIE suites We fly jet airplanes and drink pink champagne With folks like Howard Hughes And we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our pitcher On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS CHORUS We got some snuff queen babies and some back stage ladies With furs and diamond rings We got aunts and uncles and shirt-tail cousins like you ain't never seen We got all the friends that money can buy So we never have to sing the blues And they all call us mister but we can't get our picture On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS CHORUS TAG: On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS On the cover of the MUSIC CITY NEWS |
