Nashville Cats - Del McCoury

Composed by：John Sebastian

Nashville cats

Play clean as country water

Nashville cats

Play wild as mountain dew

Nashville cats

Been playin' since they's babies

Nashville cats

Get work before they're two

Well there's thirteen hundred

And fifty two guitar pickers in nashville

And they can pick more notes

Than the number of ants on a

Tennessee ant hill

There's thirteen hundred and

Fifty two guitar cases in nashville

And anyone that unpacks his

Guitar can play twice as better than I will

Nashville cats

Play clean as country water

Nashville cats

Play wild as mountain dew

Nashville cats

Been playin' since they's babies

Nashville cats

Get work before they're two

Hey I was just 13 you might

Say I was a musical proverbial knee high

When I heard a couple new

Sounding tunes on the tube

And they blasted me sky high

Then the record man said

Everyone is a yellow sun record in nashville

And up north there ain't

Nobody buy 'em and I said

But I will and it was

Nashville cats

Play clean as country water

Nashville cats

Play wild as mountain dew

Nashville cats

Been playin' since they's babies

Nashville cats

Get work before they're two

Well there's sixteen thousand eight

Hundred twenty one mothers from nashville

All their friends play music

And they ain't uptight

If one of the kids will

Because it's custom made

For any mother's son

To be a guitar picker in nashville

And I sure am glad

I got a chance to say

A word about the music

And the mothers from nashville

Nashville cats

Play clean as country water

Nashville cats

Play wild as mountain dew

Those nashville cats

Been playin' since they's babies

All the nashville cats

Get work before they're two

Kick it
