[Verse 1]
Well, he outgrew his sequined suit
Sold his Trailways bus
Let his hair get a little too long
His ducktails bit the dust

[Verse 2]
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 steer horns 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

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
They're gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes
The first one in his old hometown
And on ribbon-cuttin' day, they'll come from miles away
The folks'll all gather 'round and sing

[Chorus]
'Cause he's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'
Brand new country star
He rides around in a Lincoln Continental
No steer horns 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

[Outro]
I mean, he can either go country or pop
A' yodel layeeo a' leedle layeeo a' leedle layee
