Steve Earle - Nashville Cats Lyrics
Chorus:Nashville catsPlay clean as country waterNashville catsPlay wild as mountain dewNashville catsBeen playin since theys babiesNashville catsGet work before theyre twoWell, theres thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar pickers in nashvilleAnd they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a tennessee ant hillTheres thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar cases in nashvilleAnd anyone that unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than I willChorusI was just 13 you might say I was a musical proverbial knee-highWhen I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tube and they blasted me sky highThen the record man said everyone is a yellow sun record in nashvilleAnd up north there aint nobody buy em and I said, but I willChorusWell theres sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one mothers from nashvilleAll their friends play music and they aint uptight if one of the kids willBecause its custom made for any mothers son to be a guitar picker in nashvilleAnd I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about the music and the mothers from nashvilleChorus
