C
Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash
C G
It’s a-looking like I’m fallin in the cracks
C F
I’m too country now for country, just like Johnny Cash
C G C
Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash
C G C
Shoulda known it when they closed the Opry down
C G
Things are bound to change in that town
C C7 F
You can’t grow when you rip the roots out of the ground
C G C
Looks like that Nashville rash is getting’ ‘round
Chorus
Steel solo
Guitar solo
Ain’t it funny how things can really change
Rock and roll back in the 70’s are country hits today
Breaks my heart to see my heros fadin’ away
The victims of Nashville rash, it’s Nashville’s ways
Chorus 2:
Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash
It’s a-looking like I’m fallin in the cracks
I’m too country now for country, just like Johnny Cash
And Buck Ownes and Faron Young and Johnny Bush
Ad Johnny Paycheck and Charley Pride and Loretta Lynn, Mmmmmmm
Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash
Aw good god it’s gonna be the death of us
