Lyrics

What would Chet do if he found out that I can’t play
Would Stringbean laugh to hear my song's for sale
What would Porter Wagoner say, if he saw me dressed this way
Would they run me outta Nashville on a rail

What would Jim Reeves say if he heard how my voice sounds
Before the autotune puts me back on scale
I know just how Lefty’d feel, to find out none of this is real
I bet they’d run me outta Nashville on a rail

Now, somebody’s got to stop me before I land on the Grand Ole Opry,
They just can’t let me tarnish the Holy Grail
When they see that big fat name of mine up there beside Miss Patsy Cline
They’ll run me outta Nashville on a rail

I know that Minnie Pearl’d be disappointed
And the Jordonaires would pray that my plans would fail
Can’t you just see Ernest Tubb, if they asked me to join the club
He’d probably run me outta Nashville on a rail

'Cause somebody’s got to stop me before I land on the Grand Ole Opry,
They just can’t let me tarnish the Holy Grail
There’ll be tweets all over Twitter from Jimmy Driftwood and Tex Ritter
Sayin’ run him outta Nashville on a rail

Now I’m sure that Mr. Acuff would forgive me
If I listed all my reasons in detail
Then he’d telephone Hank Snow & Sonny James & Bill Monroe
And have them run me outta Nashville on a rail

Because, somebody’s got to stop me before I land on the Grand Ole Opry
They just can’t let me tarnish the Holy Grail
I can almost hear the groans from Kitty Wells and Grandpa Jones
As they run me outta Nashville on a rail

They're Gonna run me outta Nashville
