Brand New Country Star 
By: Jimmy Buffett 
1974 
Well he outgrew his sequined suit 
Sold his Trailways bus 
Let his hair get a little too long 
His ducktails bit the dust 

His custom made, pearl-inlaid 
Guitar slipped from his hand 
And in its place a new electrical one 
He had flown in from Japan 

Chorus: 
'Cause he's a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday-meetin' 
Brand new country star 
He rides around in a Lincoln Continental 
No steerhorns on his car 
Oh the record men say, "He's the livin' end 
They're gonna spin him right to the top 
Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle 
He can either go Country or Pop" 

He's got a good ol' friend name o' "Texas Ben" 
Tells him all the spots to play 
And a sweet little lady, he calls her "Sexy Sadie" 
She's a' with the boy night and day 

They're gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes 
The first one in his old home town 
And on ribbon-cuttin' day they'll come from miles away 
The folks'll all gather 'round 

Chorus: 
And sing, he's a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin' 
Brand new country star 
Yeah he rides around in his Lincoln Continental 
No steerhorns on his car 
Oh the record men say, "He's the livin' end" 
They're gonna spin him right to the top 
Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle 
He can either go Country or Pop" 
I mean, he can either go Country or Pop 

Yodels: "A' yodel layeeo a' leedle layeeo a' leedle layee"
