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
