HANG UP YOUR RHINESTONE SUIT
(Ray Griff)


Jeannie C. Riley - 1991



        

You hadn't been in town much more than a week or two
When I saw you on a local country music show
You really made the crowd sit up and notice you
When you picked and sang a song that you had just composed

I came backstage and we were introduced
A few months later we were wed
It wasn't long till you had reached the top
But you took so many bows, that it's gone to your head

So hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash
No matter how great thou art, you can still cut the grass
We've got some bills and cheques that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash

(Instrumental Break)

You'll never meet a fan who'll give you my support
Don't compare me with those girls in all the towns you've been
Just because I am your wife, don't sell me short
When I fell in love with you your ship had not come in

When you get home from being on the road
You treat me like I am your maid
You never offer words of tenderness
When you take me in your arms, you act like you're on stage

So hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash
No matter how great thou art, you can still cut the grass
And we've got some cheques and bills that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash

Hang hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash
No matter how great thou art, you can still cut the grass
We've got some bills and cheques that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash

Hang up your rhinestone suit and take out the trash
No matter how great thou art ........... FADE
