Chorus:
Nashville cats
Play clean as country water
Nashville cats
Play wild as mountain dew
Nashville cats
Been playin since theys babies
Nashville cats
Get work before theyre two



Well, theres thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar pickers in nashville

And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a tennessee ant hill

Theres thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar cases in nashville

And anyone that unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than I will

Chorus

I was just 13 you might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high

When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tube and they blasted me sky high

Then the record man said everyone is a yellow sun record in nashville

And up north there aint nobody buy em and I said, but I will

Chorus

Well theres sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one mothers from nashville

All their friends play music and they aint uptight if one of the kids will

Because its custom made for any mothers son to be a guitar picker in nashville

And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about the music and the mothers from nashville

Chorus
