On The Cover Of The Music City News - Buck Owens

Well, we’re country singers

We got golden fingers and

We’re loved everywhere we go

We do our picking

And we do our grinning

For ten thousand dollars a show

We get all kinds of thrills

From all kinds of deals

But the one we never knew

Is the one that’ll getcha

When you get your picture

On the cover of the Music City News

(Music City News)

Wanna see my picture on the cover

(News) gonna buy five copies

For my mother (news)

Gonna see my smiling face

On the cover of the Music City News

Got a big long bus

With a driver named Gus

That shines our cowboy boots

(That's right)

Got a custom made car

With a built in bar

And a closet full of Nudie suits

We fly jet airplanes

And drink pink champagne

With folks like Howard Hughes

And we keep getting richer

But we can’t get out picture

On the cover of the Music City News

(repeat CHORUS)

We got snuff queen babys

And some backstage ladies

With furs and diamond rings

We got aunts and uncles

And shirt tail cousins like

You ain’t never seen

We got all the friends

That money can buy

So we never have to sing the blues

And they all call us mister

But we can’t get our picture

On the cover of the Music City News

(repeat CHORUS)
