[ Bobby Wright ]

Well I wanna be a big star and wear the finest clothes

Rhinestone suits and cowbow boots and tall tips on the toast

And wail a lotta good hillbilly songs sing that country music and sing it loud and strong

I wanna get myself a great big band pick and sing all over the land

Play the one night stands and move right along

[ guitar ]

Well even as a youngster my daddy said to me

When you grow up I want you to sing in Grand Ole Opry

And wail a lotta good hillbilly songs...

[ steel ]

Well now that I'm older I'm happy as can be

Doin' guest shots on the Opry and acting on TV

And I'm wailing out them hillbilly songs

Singin' that country music and I'm singin' it loud and strong

I've got myself a great big band pickin' and singin' all over the land

Playin' the one night stands and movin' along

I'm playin' the one night stands and movin' along
