CHORUS
  
  Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
  Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
  Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
  Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
  
  Vers
  
  Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
  Guitar pickers in Nashville
  And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
  On a Tennessee anthill
  Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
  Guitar cases in Nashville
  And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play
  Twice as better than I will
  Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
  Musical proverbial knee-high
  When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
  And they blasted me sky-high
  And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun
  Record from Nashville
  And up North there ain't nobody buys them
  And I said, "But I will"
  And it was
  
  CHORUS
  
  Vers
  
  Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one
  Mothers from Nashville
  All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
  If one of the kids will
  Because it's custom made for any mother's son
  To be a guitar picker in Nashville
  And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
  The music and the mothers from Nashville
  
  CHORUS
  
  SPOKEN: Pick it...
