Well I'm gonna get on that old turpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town till 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
Workin' in a brewery making the finest beer
You come 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 watchin' TV Ernest Tubb was singing loud
I said that's the man for me I love him there's no doubt
I'm leavin' you and going out to find out where he's at
And if I can’t get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt
I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till 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 an Olds
Huh I might get all drunked up and trade it for the Rolls
There's a one thing I know for sure I'll always be blue
There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop lovin' you
Oh Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee
