Jimmy Buffett - Brand New Country Star lyrics

Brand New Country Star

By: Jimmy Buffett

1974

Well he outgrew his sequined suit

Sold his Trailways bus

Let his hair get a little too long

His ducktails 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

Chorus:

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

Brand new country star

He rides around in a Lincoln Continental

No steerhorns 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 name o' "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 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

Chorus:

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

Brand new country star

Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental

No steerhorns 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

Yodels: "A' yodel layeeo a' leedle layeeo a' leedle layee"
