Music Note

I was five years old, riding in granddaddy's truck

Singing Deeper Than the Holler with the radio up

He'd smile and he'd say, "Boy, keep singing that song"

And I bet even he never thought

I'd be making a dollar, making a music note

Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke

Write a couple songs that somebody might know

Make a dollar, making a music note

Make a dollar, making a music note

Never knew I'd step foot on that old Opry stage

Went from Old Rugged Cross to that church off Broadway

Standing right where Loretta, Cash, and Charley all stood

Man, who would have guessed that I would

Be making a dollar, making a music note

Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke

Write a couple songs that somebody might know

Make a dollar, making a music note

Make a dollar, making a music note

So, this song's a way for me to shake everybody's hand

Thanks for giving this Tennessee boy a chance

At making a dollar, making a music note

Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke

Write a couple songs that somebody might know

Make a dollar, making a music note

Make a dollar, making a music note

I was five years old riding in granddaddy's truck

Singing Deeper Than the Holler with the radio up
