The Cats - I Wanna Be A Country Singer lyrics
[The Cats - I Wanna Be A Country Singer lyrics]
Daddy used to play guitar and
Sing in a country band
Going on the road he’d take my mama and me
I grew up in a world of
Neon lights and one night stands
I’ve been through a hundred towns by
The time I was 3
I can see him now in his high heeled boots
Battered old guitar
Driving his beat up forty nine chevrolet
And when mama got tired of spendin’ her
Life in hotel rooms and bars
Daddy just kind of kissed her cheek
And this is what he’d say:
"I wanna be a country singer
I wanna make the people cry
To sing those sad sweet country songs
Brings a tear to your eye
I wanna be a country singer I
Make them wanna sing along
When they hear my down home melodies and
Stories ‘bout a love gone wrong"
I get so tired of one night
Stands and honky tonks and bars
Now home’s alone in the hotel room each night
Until I step upon the stage
With my daddy’s old guitar
I close my eyes and start
To play and everything’s alright
I wanna be a country singer
I wanna make the people cry
To sing those sad sweet country songs
Brings a tear to your eye
I wanna be a country singer I
Make them wanna sing along
When they hear my down home melodies and
Stories ‘bout a love gone wrong
I learned the words when I was 5
At 6 I knew the melodies
Took my daddy’s guitar and
Taught myself to play
By the time that I was 7 I
Knew just what I would be
And my daddy couldn’t help but smile
Whenever he’d hear me say:
"I wanna be a country singer
I wanna make the people cry
To sing those sad sweet country songs
Brings a tear to your eye
I wanna be a country singer I
Make them wanna sing along
When they hear my down home melodies and
Stories ‘bout a love gone wrong"
I wanna be a country singer
I wanna make the people cry
To sing those sad sweet country songs
Brings a tear to your eye
I wanna be a country singer I
Make them wanna sing along
When they hear my down home melodies and
Stories ‘bout a love gone wrong
Sing in a country band
Going on the road he’d take my mama and me
I grew up in a world of
Neon lights and one night stands
I’ve been through a hundred towns by
The time I was 3
I can see him now in his high heeled boots
Battered old guitar
Driving his beat up forty nine chevrolet
And when mama got tired of spendin’ her
Life in hotel rooms and bars
Daddy just kind of kissed her cheek
And this is what he’d say:
"I wanna be a country singer
I wanna make the people cry
To sing those sad sweet country songs
Brings a tear to your eye
I wanna be a country singer I
Make them wanna sing along
When they hear my down home melodies and
Stories ‘bout a love gone wrong"
I get so tired of one night
Stands and honky tonks and bars
Now home’s alone in the hotel room each night

To sing those sad sweet country songs
