Nashville Cats

Nashville Cats Lyrics

Nashville Cats - John Sebastian

Chorus

Nashville Cats: playin' clean as country water
Nashville Cats: playin' wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats: been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats: it worked before there too

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 that unpacks a guitar can play twice as better than I will

Yes, 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 here ain't nobody buys them and I said, "But I will"
And it was

(Chorus)

Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n 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

(Chorus)

Pick it...
