5000 Country Music Songs Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
I started writing country songs in 1962
Just a dream that I had on my mind
Now my girl and I got married in 1963
We tried so hard to keep our dreams alive

[Verse 2]
So I bought an old house-trailer out on the country side
You can't write country songs in town they say
(That's what they told me)
Well we packed up and moved out there and as the time went by
We found that we liked living free that way

[Verse 3]
Now I got me an old Cadillac just to have around
Cadillacs and country songs were meant to be
I heard that old Hank Williams, well he drove one just like mine
So I thought that something might rub off on me

[Chorus]
You can take what you want after I'm gone
It's only just a little place that we called home sweet home
It was one old house trailer, two rusty Cadillacs
And 5000 country music songs

[Verse 4]
Now I always sent my songs up to Nashville town
In case the boys couldn't use a guy like me
But the mailman brought 'em right back down and I think it made him sad
You're bound to get you one, just wait and see
