KING OF THE HILLBILLYS
By Kenny Royster

HE CAME TO NASHVILLE PLAYING A FLAT TOP
WITH A HOLE WORE IN THE MIDDLE.
A GUT STRING BENDIN’ SMOKIN’ COWBOY OUTLAW REBEL.
HUNG OUT DOWN AT TOOTSIE’S WRITING SONGS LIKE CRAZY. THAT NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TOP.

HE’S THE KING OF THE HILL-BILLYS BEHIND THE BEAT BUT AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
PUTS HIS HEART IN EVERY LINE.
HE’S THE KING OF THE HILLBILLYS THAT RED-HEAD STRANGER NEVER WALKED THE LINE
TALKIN’ BOUT WILLIE.
THE KING OF THE HILL-BILLYS.

HE SMOKED ‘EM AT THE WHITEHOUSE BROUGHT DOWN CARNEGIE HALL.
HE’S READY TO GIT ON THE ROAD AGAIN ANYTIME IT CALLS
ANYONE WHO’S MET HIM KNOWS HIS HEART’S AS BIG AS TEXAS. HE’LL GIVE THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK
AT THE DROP OF A HAT.

RPT. CHORUS

BRIDGE:

HE’S EVERYBODY’S HERO A MAN LIKE YOU AND ME.
BUT WHEN HE PICKS THAT GUITAR UP HE’S COUNTRY ROYALTY…..ALL HAIL!!!

RPT. CHORUS
