(Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Ron Haffkine)

|
He stands tall in his handmade boots
|
Pretty little girls all around
|
Black was the shade of his nudie suit
|
And when he sang there was not a sound
|
|
From state line to Mobile he entertained the crowds
|
Everybody there knew his name
|
His climb had started but the road gets harder
|
When you're closing in on fame
|
|
Bright lights shine and the crowd goes wild
|
"The show won't start 'til y'all calm down"
|
One pretty little girl stands all alone
|
And when she cried there was not a sound
|
|
For just three days in New Orleans she never left his side
|
That girl became a woman with her very first man
|
But to her only lover she was just like all the others
|
'Til she stood there with that gun in her hand
|
|
A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild
|
A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild
|
The crowd goes wild
|
The crowd goes wild
|
The crowd goes wild
|
The crowd goes wild
