Country Music Nightmare
Written by and recorded by Boxcar Willie
 
C        F                           C
It was a country music nightmare the worst I’d ever seen
                                            G7
And every country music star appeared in my dreams
              C                     F
There was the late great near great some in the hall of fame
    C                           G7       C
The county music nightmare that drove me insane
 
          F                          C
There was Ernest Arnold Eddy Tubbs I knew that wasn't right
                                         G7
Red Reeves and Jim Foley gave me quite a fright
     C                         F
Well Buck Cash and Johnny were next upon the scene
C                        G7                C
Jimmy Nelson sang a song along with Willie Dean
 
          F                            C
There was George Haggard Merle Jones I thought I'd surly die
                                                G7
Well Waylon William Hank Jennings made me wanna cry
C                                  F
Charlie Young and Faron Pride they tried to steal the show
C                       G7             C
Hank Miller sang a song wrote by Roger Snow
 
Repeat #1 
 
          F                          C
There was Dolly Jackson Wanda Parton just to name a few
                                                       G7
Loretta Gail and Crystal Lynn well they were all there too
C                               F
Connie Wells and Kitty Smith it was a sight to see
C                             G7                C
Brenda Pearl told funny jokes along with Minnie Lee

Boxcar Willie  whoooooo
                                   
And that's when that train whistle woke me up

Repeat #1

F                                G7
Boy when that train whistle went off

  
I jumped outta bed I was running around the room 
  C                                         G7
I stubbed my toe on the floor and had a big G chord on the pillow
C                          F                  G7
Why can’t I have some nice dreams about movie stars
       C
Pretty girls
