Well I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
Milwaukee is where we were before we came here
Working in a brewery making the finest beer
You came to me on a payday night said let's go to Tennessee
So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry
Well we were watching TV Ernest Tubb was singing loud
I said that's the man for me I love him, there's no doubt
I'm leaving you and going now to find out where he's at
And if I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt.
I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you love the best
Me or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
I'm a goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for a nose
Honey, I might get all drunk up and trade it for a rose
There's a one thing I know for sure I'll always be blue
There ain't no way get drunk enough to stop lovin' you.
I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you love the best
Me or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
Ohh Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
