I
wish I was
a country star,
have my songs played
in every honky tonk
bar,
but the ultimate sign
of fame, by far
would be havin' my name
on
the town's water tower
I can see it now
this ain't no lie
it's
already there
in my mind's eye,
my name on high
couldn't get much
higher
fluorescent paint
on the water tower
Then just for fun
I'd
discretely inquire
if they heard of me
my fame acquired,
I'd be grinnin'
then
with all my power
recognized by name
from the water tower
It's obvious
no mystery
I'd love that fame
and visibility
happy,
I'd be
singin' with the choir
my name ingrained
on the water tower. |
