Now down in Nashville lives a man who makes a million bucks a week | G / / / | C / / / |
Singin' country music like it should be sung | G / / / |A7 /D7 / |
He don't sound too impressive if you only hear him speak | G / / / | C /Eb / |
But when he sings his vocal chords are full of dung | G /A7 D7| G / / / |
His hawkish eyes are hooded, not with sun but from the strain |Abmaj7///|Eb / / / |
Of a slight myopia he won't admit | G / F C | G / / / |
His thighs are well-developed from a lifetime kickin' shit | C / / / | G / F E |
And his monnicker is Lonesome Levis Lane |A7 /D7 / | G /G7 / |
Lonesome Levis, Lonesome Levis | C / / / | G / / / |
Lonesome Levis Lane |D7 / / / | G /G7 / |
| C / / / | G / / / |
|D7 / / / | G / / / |
Now he's been called a ravin' fascist by the communists and blacks | G / / / | C / / / |
But the truth is he's an independent man | G / / / |A7 /D7 / |
And it kinda disappoints him he gets no relief on tax | G / / / | C /Eb / |
Buyin' guided missiles for the Ku Klux Klan | G /A7 D7| G / / / |
His noble teeth are gritted into pretzels from the pain |Abmaj7///|Eb / / / |
Of heels so high he's standin' on his toes | G / F C | G / / / |
But a tang of bovine ordure still comes twangin' through his nose | C / / / | G / F E |
And his monnicker is Lonesome Levis Lane |A7 /D7 / | G /G7 / |
Lonesome Levis, Lonesome Levis | C / / / | G / / / |
Lonesome Levis Lane |D7 / / / | G /G7 / |
| C / / / | G / / / |
|D7 / / / | G / / / |
Now Hitler, Himmler, Goering, and all them other reds | G / / / | C / / / |
They never understood the power of a song | G / / / |A7 /D7 / |
If you want to plant a crazy notion in a million screamin' heads | G / / / | C /Eb / |
Just spell it out and make 'em sing along | G /A7 D7| G / / / |
No it wouldn't shift the needle if you tried to weigh his brain |Abmaj7///|Eb / / / |
But he passes for a thinker in his art | G / F C | G / / / |
He can shoot a cornball slogan like a bullet up the chart | C / / / | G / F E |
And his monnicker is Lonesome Levis Lane |A7 /D7 / | G /G7 / |
Lonesome Levis, Lonesome Levis | C / / / | G / / / |
Lonesome Levis Lane |D7 / / / | G /G7 / |
| C / / / | G / / / |
|D7 / / / | G / / / |
Now if you're drivin' down the turnpike tune to station KKK | G / / / | C / / / |
You'll hear that Nashville drone come slidin' through | G / / / |A7 /D7 / |
It's just as fresh as fallin' cowplop and as true as Old Dog Trey | G / / / | C /Eb / |
That sentimental splurge is all for you | G /A7 D7| G / / / |

In the concrete fields of Nashville they've grown their own John |Abmaj7///|Eb / / / |
And he's singin' while he's suckin' blades of grass | G / F C | G / / / |
The sphincter of a heifer don't exude more warmth and class | C / / / | G / F E |
And his monnicker is Lonesome Levis Lane |A7 /D7 / | G /G7 / |
Yes his monnicker is Lonesome | C / / / |
But he's never on his ownsome | G / / / |
As he rides that strawb'ry roansome |D7 / / / |
On the stage his baritonesome's | G /G7 / |
Like Godzilla on the phonesome | C / / / |
Lettin' out a happy groansome | G / / / |
After eatin' blood and bonesome |D7 / / / |
That's a million-dollar moansome | G /G7 / |
And his monnicker is Lonesome | C / / / |
Lonesome Levis Lane |D7 / / / | G / / / | / / / / |
