How To Be A Country Star

歌詞

There's questions we're always hearing every where we go Like how do I cut a record or get on a country show Well, it takes more than just ambition and three chords on an old guitar There's a few more things you ought to learn to be a country star You got to learn to sing like Waylon or pick like Jerry Reed Yodel like Jeannie Shepard, write songs like Tom T Put a cry in your voice like Haggard, learn Spanish like Johnny R Whisper like Bill Anderson and you'll be a country star Play piano like Ronnie Mil sap or Gilly or Jerry Lee Yo-yo like Roy Acuff or talk plain like Ralph Emery Growl like Conway Twitty, get a red, white and blue guitar Build a swimming pool like Webb did and you'll be a country star Be tall like Sonny James is, tell jokes like Minnie Pearl Or be short like Jimmy Dickens or play five-string like Earl Get a hip band like Willie, learn to stutter like M-Mel Get a cap like Roy Clark wore or a voice like Barbara Mandrel Be rich like Eddy Arnold, say you're makin' more than you are Get a gimmick like Charley Pride got and you'll be a country star But if you have no talent and you're not a male If you're built somewhat like Dolly or have a face like Crystal Gayle Come back stage and ask for Harold, Phil, Don or Lou And we'll see you get auditioned for the Statler Brothers Review
