Lyrics - Nashville Cats by Lovin Spoonful

Lovin'
Spoonful
Nashville
Cats{
Refrain}
Nashville
Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville
Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville
Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville
Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar pickers in
Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a
Tennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar cases in
Nashville
And any one of them
Texas guitars could play
Twice as better than
I will
Yeah,
I was just thirteen, you might say
I was a
Musical proverbial knee-high
When
I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is a
Yellow
Sun
Record from
Nashville
And up
North there ain't nobody buys them
And
I said, but
I will
And it was{
Refrain}
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty one
Mothers from
Nashville
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
If one of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any mother's 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{
Refrain}
