Karaoké Barroom Country Singer Roger Whittaker

Please don't say I sing like Waylon Jennings

Please don't say I look like

Charley Pride

And if you say I sing just like

Merle Haggard

Then I know that all you folks are on my side

Because I'm just another barroom country singer

I'm trying to make my living with a song

Maybe one day I'll get to Nashville ah

But you know that doggone road's so awful long

Some folks say I sing like

Kenny Rogers

I say Kenny Rogers sings like me

But Kenny sells a million of every single song

I must be doing something wrong yeah

Because I'm just another barroom country singer yeah

I'm trying to make my living with a song

Maybe one day I'll get to Nashville ah ah

But you know that doggone road's so awful long

Take it coolie boy

Oh yeah

Dolly Parton sings just like an angel

She sings just as pretty as can be

I'll never be as famous as sweet Dolly

She has two big advantages you see

Because I'm just another barroom country singer

I'm trying to make my living with a song

Maybe one day I'll get to Nashville ah ah

But you know that doggone road's so awful long

But you know that doggone road's so awful long

Lord it's oh so long
