On The Cover Of The Music City News
Well, we're country singers
We got golden fingers and
We're loved everywhere we go (aah-ah)
We do our picking
And we do our grinning
For ten thousand dollars a show
We get all kinds of thrills
From all kinds of deals
But the one we never knew
Is the one that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Music City News
(Music City News) wanna see my picture on the cover
(News) gonna buy five copies for my mother
(News) gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Music City News
Got a big long bus
With a driver named Gus
That shines our cowboy boots (that's right)
Got a custom made car
With a built in bar
And a closet full of Nudie suits
We fly jet airplanes
And drink pink champagne
With folks like Howard Hughes
And we keep getting richer
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Music City News
(Music City News) wanna see my picture on the cover
(News) gonna buy five copies for my mother
(News) gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Music City News
We got snuff queen babies
And some backstage ladies
With furs and diamond rings
We got aunts and uncles
And shirt tail cousins like
You ain't never seen
We got all the friends
That money can buy
So we never have to sing the blues
And they all call us mister
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Music City News
(Music City News) wanna see my picture on the cover
(News) gonna buy five copies for my mother
(News) gonna see my smiling face
