Lyrics - Do Not Go To Tennessee by Austin Lounge Lizards

(
Hank
Card)
Do not go to
Tennessee
That is what my
Daddy said
But
I knew
Daddy was a fool
I listened to myself instead
Do not go to
Tennessee'
Cause it would be a big mistake
They will treat you like a dog
And never give you a fair shake
I was going out to
Nashville;
I was gonna be a star
I would have my name inlaid between the frets of my guitar
My videos would play on
TNN and
CMTAnd the fans at
Opryland would stand in line for me
And so
I went to
Tennessee
I was successful right away
I wrote a tune with
Mr.
Big
I got a deal with
MCAIt was a
Number
One
Hit
Song
Although it took a week or two
Sometimes the wait seemed mighty long
Lord knows you've got to pay your dues
When
I go back to
Oklahoma
Everybody says, "
Ooowee!"
Who would have thought a kid like that
Could be on nationwide tv?
I bought my
Daddy a new home
Out on
Lake of the
Cherokee
He calls me on his mobile phone
To say he's glad
I went to
Tennessee
