Lyrics

Brand New Country Star By: Jimmy Buffett 1974 Well he outgrew his sequined suit Sold his Trailways bus Let his hair get a little too long His ducktails bit the dust His custom made, pearl-inlaid Guitar slipped from his hand And in its place a new electrical one He had flown in from Japan Chorus: 'Cause he's a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday-meetin' Brand new country star He rides around in a Lincoln Continental No steerhorns on his car Oh the record men say, "He's the livin' end They're gonna spin him right to the top Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle He can either go Country or Pop" He's got a good ol' friend name o' "Texas Ben" Tells him all the spots to play And a sweet little lady, he calls her "Sexy Sadie" She's a' with the boy night and day They're gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes The first one in his old home town And on ribbon-cuttin' day they'll come from miles away The folks'll all gather 'round Chorus: And sing, he's a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin' Brand new country star Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental No steerhorns on his car Oh the record men say, "He's the livin' end" They're gonna spin him right to the top Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle He can either go Country or Pop" I mean, he can either go Country or Pop Yodels: "A' yodel layeeo a' leedle layeeo a' leedle layee"
