Hell he rode into Nashville to try his luck

You know he had those dreams about makin' it big
A

Big red letters on the back of his car
C A
It said Jerry Fontaine and his jammin' guitar
[Verse 2]

Tried CBS, RCA, all them other letters

But they turned him away

Go Jerry go, don't let 'em steal your dream
