Brand New Country Star

Brand New Country Star

By: Jimmy Buffett

1974

Well he outgrew his sequined suit

Sold his Trailways bus

Let his hair get a little too long

His ducktails bit the dust

His custom made, pearl-inlaid

Guitar slipped from his hand

And in its place a new electrical one

He had flown in from Japan

Chorus:

`Cause he`s a cheeseburger-eatin`, abandoned Sunday-meetin`

Brand new country star

He rides around in a Lincoln Continental

No steerhorns 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"

He`s got a good ol` friend name o` "Texas Ben"

Tells him all the spots to play

And a sweet little lady, he calls her "Sexy Sadie"

She`s a` with the boy night and day

They`re gonna open 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`ll all gather `round

Chorus:

And sing, he`s a cheeseburger-eatin`, abandoned Sunday meetin`

Brand new country star

Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental

No steerhorns 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

Yodels: "A` yodel layeeo a` leedle layeeo a` leedle layee"
