Well, we're country singers We got golden fingers and We're loved everywhere we go We do our picking And we do our grinning For ten thousand dollars a show We get all kinds of thrills From all kinds of deals But the one we never knew Is the one that'll getcha When you get your picture On the cover of the Music City News (CHORUS) (Music City News) Wanna see my picture on the cover (News) gonna buy five copies For my mother (news) Gonna see my smiling face On the cover of the Music City News Got a big long bus With a driver named Gus That shines our cowboy boots (That's right) Got a custom made car With a built in bar And a closet full of Nudie suits We fly jet airplanes And drink pink champagne With folks like Howard Hughes And we keep getting richer But we can't get out picture On the cover of the Music City News (repeat CHORUS) We got snuff queen babys And some backstage ladies With furs and diamond rings We got aunts and uncles And shirt tail cousins like You ain't never seen We got all the friends That money can buy So we never have to sing the blues And they all call us mister But we can't get our picture On the cover of the Music City News (repeat CHORUS) On the cover of the Music City News
