A                               D
I have come a long way from the hills of Tennessee
A                                           E
And I've worked hard to make the folks back home real proud of me
A                              D
Now everybody knows my name no matter where I go
      A                             E             A
But I never really made it 'til The Johnny Carson Show


[Verse 2]
    A                                     D
Now I have dreamed of stardom since I was just a kid
A                                         E
And me 'n' Dollar dreamed beneath this thirteen dollar wig
A                                    D
In my bell-bottom jumpsuits with the rhinestones all aglow
    A                                    E             A
I became and over-night success from The Johnny Carson Show


[Chorus]
     D                     A
From polyester paradise to silk and satin frills
       E                                 A
From a forty-eight foot moblie home to a mansion on the hill
     D                              A
From moonshine to rare wine, from a Packard to a Rolls
        E            D                E             A
But I'd never really made it 'til The Johnny Carson Show


[Verse 3]
    A                               D
Now there's only one small problem, sometimes I get disturbed
A                                    E
Folks sometimes get me confused with Monti Rock the third
    A                                 D
But still I think it's worth it and I just thought you should know
          A                                  E             A
That I'll always owe a special thanks to The Johnny Carson Show


[Chorus]
            D                          A
I went from pop beads to diamonds from car coats to fur
     E                     A
From K-Mart to Gucci, from here no tellin' where
     D                     A
From Hillbilly Heaven to a penthouse on the coast
      E            D               E             A
But I never really made it til The Johnny Carson Show
