[00:14.10]It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
[00:20.79]I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
[00:28.29]The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away
[00:34.28]From being little more than just a southern state.
[00:40.97]I got a gig down at the Bowery
[00:47.60]I played for tip and watered drinks
[00:54.30]Just a novice in a business
[01:00.30]That's seldom what it seems.
[01:07.61]And where are you goin' Tar Top
[01:13.61]Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few
[01:17.92]I saw the Flash without T. Gentry
[01:27.17]And B. V. left for Malibu.
[01:37.17]I was July hot and thirty, some years down the line
[01:43.61]When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
[01:50.42]I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
[01:57.23]A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes.
[02:05.48]But in the Bowery hangs the mem'ries
[02:10.44]Of dreams that still come true
[02:15.31]Every time I see the spotlight
[02:19.06]I'm one of the chosen few.
[02:24.56]And where are you going Tar Top
[02:31.94]Where's J. C. and the Chosen Few
[02:36.31]There's no Flash without T. Gentry
[02:45.50]And B. V. where are you?
[02:52.68]Where are you goin' Tar Top
[02:58.18]Which direction will you take
[03:04.56]What's this contrabanded clamor
[03:11.12]About the music that you make?
[03:17.68]And where are you goin' Tar Top
[03:23.75]Is it country enough
[03:30.06]Is it contemporary glamour
[03:36.99]No it's us, just us.
[03:49.93]Uh huh...
