Another Pretty Country Song

I bought this rhinestone suit in California

These boots came all the way from Mexico

And this Cadillac ain't nothin' son you should see the Greyhound

I bought to take my band from show to show

Oh you've seen my face a thousand times on TV

Or heard me on your local radio

And in your eyes I see the admiration for me

But son there's something that you ought to know

I've got to take a drink to keep from shaking

Oh motel rooms ain't nothing like a home

And money can't make love grow any stronger

When you leave your woman home alone

She can't raise the children with no daddy

She can't love a man that's always gone

It takes a whole lot more than pride

To keep your feelings locked inside

While you sing another pretty country song

[ steel ]

Yes I've got to take a drink to keep from shaking...

While I sing another pretty country song
