[Verse 1]
I have come a long way from the hills of Tennessee
And I've worked hard to make the folks back home real proud of me
Now everybody knows my name no matter where I go
But I never really made it till The Johnny Carson Show

[Verse 2]
Now I have dreamed of stardom since I was just a kid
And me 'n' Dollar dreamed beneath this thirteen dollar wig
In my bell-bottom jumpsuits with my rhinestones all aglow
I became an overnight success from The Johnny Carson Show

[Chorus]
From polyester paradisе to silk and satin frills
From a forty-eight foot mobile home to a mansion on thе hill
From moonshine to rare wine, from a Packard to a Rolls
But I'd never really made it till The Johnny Carson Show

[Verse 3]
Now there's only one small problem, sometimes I get disturbed
Folks sometimes get me confused with Monti Rock the third
But still I think it's worth it and I just thought you should know
That I'll always owe a special thanks to The Johnny Carson Show

[Chorus]
I went from pop beads to diamonds, from car coats to fur
From K-Mart to Guccis, from here no tellin' where
From Hillbilly Heaven to a penthouse on the coast
But I never really made it till The Johnny Carson Show
