| [00:15.60] | He stands tall in his handmade boots |
| [00:20.46] | Pretty little girls all around |
| [00:22.02] | Black was the shade of his nudie suit |
| [00:37.41] | And when he sang there was not a sound |
| [00:46.71] | From state line to Mobile he entertained the crowds |
| [00:56.52] | Everybody there knew his name |
| [01:01.95] | His climb had started but the road gets harder |
| [01:11.91] | When you're closing in on fame |
| [01:28.92] | Bright lights shine and the crowd goes wild |
| [01:33.75] | "The show won't start 'til y'all calm down" |
| [01:41.55] | One pretty little girl stands all alone |
| [01:53.52] | And when she cried there was not a sound |

| [02:11.10] | That girl became a woman with her very first man |
| [02:19.38] | But to her only lover she was just like all the others |
| [02:27.48] | 'Til she stood there with that gun in her hand |
| [02:31.77] | A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild |
| [02:40.68] | A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild |
| [02:48.72] | The crowd goes wild |
| [02:49.38] | The crowd goes wild |
| [02:49.77] | The crowd goes wild |
| [02:50.16] | The crowd goes wild |
