[Verse 1]
We were Ejust a plain old hillbilly band with a plain old country style
We never played the kind of songs that'd F#drive anybody B7wild
Played a Erailroad song with a stompin' beat
We played a Ablues song, kinda slow and sweet
But the F#thing that knocked 'em off of their feet was, hoo-B7wee
