On The Cover Of The Music City News

(album: (It's A) Monster's Holiday - 1974)

Well, we're country singers
We got golden fingers and
We're loved everywhere we go

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

[Chorus:]
(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 out picture
On the cover of the Music City News

[Chorus]

We got snuff queen babys
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

[Chorus]
