Well he outgrew his sequined suit

Sold his Trailways bus

Let his hair get a little too long

His duck tails bit the dust



His custom made, pearl-inlaid

Guitar slipped from his hand

And in its place a new electrical one

He had flown in from Japan



'Cause he's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'

Brand new country star

He rides around in a Lincoln Continental

No steer horns on his car



Oh the record men say, he's the livin' end

They're gonna spin him right to the top

Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle

He can either go Country or Pop



He's got a good ol' friend named 'Texas Ben'

Tells him all the spots to play

And a sweet little lady, he calls her 'Sexy Sadie'

She's a' with the boy night and day



They're gonna open up a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes

The first one in his old home town

And on ribbon cuttin' day they'll come from miles away

The folks'll all gather 'round



And sing, he's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'

Brand new country star

Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental

No steer horns on his car



Oh the record men say, he's the livin' end

They're gonna spin him right to the top

Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle

He can either go Country or Pop, I mean, he can either go Country or Pop
