[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hell he rode into Nashville to try his luck
Just a beat up Chevy, and twenty five bucks
You know he had those dreams about makin it big
And he wasn t goin to settle for just any gig
Big red letters on the back of his car
It said Jerry Fontaine and his jammin guitar
[Verse 2]
Tried CBS, RCA, all them other letters
But they turned him away
Tried to get him a job down at The Tootsie s Bar
But they mashed him out the door with his jammin guitar
Grand Ole Opry, story was the same
He said one day you ll be beggin for Jerry Fontaine
[Chorus 1]
Go Jerry go, don t let em steal your dream
One day you ll be ridin in the big limousine
All the little girls will be a-screamin your name
Throwin little kisses at Jerry Fontaine
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
He had hair like Elvis, a voice like Jerry Lee
Heart full of songs baby, just like me
Musta got discouraged, given it up
Cause he left that ol guitar in this hock shop
When I bought it I got more than I bargained for
Jerry left his dream in his jammin guitar
[Chorus 2]
Go Jerry go, wherever you are
Takin good care of his jammin guitar
We may never make it, fortune and fame
But this is for me and Jerry Fontaine
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 3]
Go Jerry go, wish you could see
All the little girls throwin kisses at me
We may never make it, fortune and fame
But this one s for me and Mr. Jerry Fontaine
This one s for me and Jerry Fontaine
