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 'A yodel layeeo a leedle layeeo a leedle layee'
