I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
You won't see my name on MTV
I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
No one knows my name in Tennessee

Once I thought that I would be a big star
Making everybody look at me
Driving to the bank in my big car
Looking at myself on TV

Well, I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
You won't see my name on MTV
I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
No one knows my name in Tennessee

Mama said that I was gonna make it
That I'd sing on that grand ol' opry
Then I'd stick my hands in wet concrete
But no one ever thought of asking me

Well, I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
You won't see my name on MTV
I'm a-gonna be the next big nothing
No one knows my name in Tennessee

I said you won't know my name in Tennessee
