Capo 1
D G
I grew up playing cover tunes I heard on my daddy's radio
A D
It wasn't long til me and my buddies were out playing weekend shows
D G
We tore up the honky tonks and burned down all the VFW halls
A D
Built a name til we were bout the biggest thing our county ever saw
D G
The mayor called me himself and said son, would you headline the county fair
A D
I swelled up with pride said you can count on us sir we'll be there
D G
Then he said just call me back and let me know what all you boys need
A
So I did me some research bout the things they give the big stars
A D
In that backstage waiting room that they all call green (It said the talent requires)
Chorus:
G
Deli tray with lean roast beef
G
Turkey and assorted cheese
G
Fruit plate veggie plate
G D
Big bowl of M&M's leave the green ones out for us please
G
3 cases Coors on ice
G
5 Hooters girls and a strobe light
G
1 carton of Marlboro Reds
G
Bose stereo playing Grateful Dead
A
Two tubes of crazy glue
A
And some of them organic B-6, B-12 vitamins too
The mayor called me back today and said son, have you lost your mind
This is just a county fair and you boys are trying to act like you've hit the big time
So I said what you talking bout, you called me cause you knew I'd draw a crowd
Just sign the thing and pay the fee you know I wouldn't ask for anything
If I didn't need it for me to get my sound (The talent requires)
Chorus
Tag:
Hey Barbie - bring the mayor one of them beers
Ah hell, matter of fact, bring us two
Nice ain't they, beers I mean, that's nice
Are you hungry mayor – aw, we got some left over there
Tiffany, fix that man a sandwich
Ah it's OK - ??? bread right there Mister Mayor - it's good, ain't it, that's right
Oh you want a Marlboro, Mayor
It's good ???? right there
Hey Brittany, light this man a cigarette
It's great to be the talent, aint it Mayor
