Nashville Cats Lyrics - Steve Earle

Chorus: 

Nashville cats 

Play clean as country water 

Nashville cats 

Play wild as mountain dew 

Nashville cats 

Been playin' since they's babies 

Nashville cats 

Get work before they're two

Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar pickers in nashville 

And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a tennessee ant hill 

There's thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar cases in nashville 

And anyone that unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than I will 

Chorus 

I was just 13 you might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high 

When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tube and they blasted me sky high 

Then the record man said everyone is a yellow sun record in nashville 

And up north there ain't nobody buy 'em and I said, but I will 

Chorus 

Photos 

Well there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one mothers from nashville 

All their friends play music and they ain't uptight if one of the kids will 

Because it's custom made for any mother's son to be a guitar picker in nashville 

And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about the music and the mothers from nashville 

Chorus
