BRAND NEW COUNTRY STAR
(Jimmy Buffett)


Jimmy Buffet - 1973



Well he outgrew his sequinned suit, sold his trailways bus
Let his hair get a little too long, duck tails bit the dust
His custom made pearl inlaid guitar slipped from his hands
And in it's place a new electrical one he had flown in from Japan

He's a cheeseburger eatin' abandoned Sunday meetin' brand new country star
He rides around in a Lincoln Continental, no steer horns 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

Got a good ol' friend name of Texas Ben, tells him all the spots to play
And a sweet little lady, he calls her sexy Sadie, she's with the boy night and day
They're gonna open up 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 will all gather round, and sing

He's a cheeseburger eatin' abandoned Sunday meetin' brand new country star
Yeah, he rides around in a Lincoln Continental, no steer horns 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
Yodel-lay-ee-oh, yodel-lay-ee-oh, yeedle-lay-eee
