Lyrics Nashville Cats [Live] - John Sebastian

Well, there′s thirteen hundred and fifty two guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a Tennessee anthill.
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two guitar cases in Nashville
And any one that unpacks his guitar could play twice as better than I will.

Yes, I was just thirteen
You might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high,
When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tubes and they blasted me sky high!
And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun record from Nashville,
And up North there ain′t nobody buys 'em and I said, but I will!

And it was Nashville Cats - Play clean as country water.
Nashville Cats - Play wild as mountain dew.
Nashville Cats (let me hear ya) - Playing since they's babies.
Nashville Cats - Get work before they′re two.

Well, there′s sixteen thousand eight hundred and twenty one mothers from Nashville.
All their friends play music and they ain't uptight if one of the kids will.
Because it′s custom made for any mother's son to be a guitar picker in Nashville.
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about the music and the mothers from Nashville.

And them Nashville Cats
Play clean as country water.
Nashville Cats
Play wild as mountain dew.
Nashville Cats
Been playing since they′s babies.
Nashville Cats
Get work before they're two.
