I can still remember my first guitar

bright and shiny like a brand new car

even took it with me when I went to school

and I practiced every day till I got real good



I learned every lick on the radio

from Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go

I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues

then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes



and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on on a Saturday night

standing where my heroes stood

hillbilly Hollywood



i played some bars where you never wanna go

from Oklahoma City down to Tupelo

my ears would be ringing like an old fire bell

When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel



and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night

standing where my heroes stood

hillbilly Hollywood



and I pray before too long

they will hear my song



and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night

standing where my heroes stood

i dreamed grand old Opry on a Saturday night standing . .

hillbilly Hollywood hillbilly Hollywood hillbilly Hollywood
