      G                          D 
Well you're the first car in an hour or so 
     C                        D 
I'm glad you stopped in it's sure been slow 
        G         D            C         D 
Around here today,   just like every day 
        G                             D 
Well I couldn't help but notice your California plates 
    C                 D 
And I thought I recognized that name 
         G          D           C          D 
On your credit card,   you're a movie star

Well I can't wait to get back home and tell all my buddies

       C           D               G 
Well I only go to movies when I'm down in Bowling Green 
     C                D                 G 
The cable don't come out this far so I never watch TV 
   C                  D                 Em    D   C 
I know you played in something but I'm gonna need some help

Wait, weren't you in Cannon Ball Run.... no? oh well 
 
 
Verse 2: 
Allow me to introduce myself 
Name ain't John this is somebody else's  
Greasy shirt, my name's Curt 
This is the town that I grew up in 
Never seen L.A. the closest I've been   
To Hollywood, is Dollywood 
But when you get back to Beverly Hills you can tell all your buddies 
You met one of the most famous people in the country 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
Cause I caught the record smallmouth out on Kentucky lake 
And I caught threw the winning touchdown pass the night that we won state 
And I'm still signing autographs after all these years 
Oh yeah, guess I'm gonna need yours....sign uh here 
 
 
Verse 3: 
Been thinking bout doing some acting someday 
If I ever do make it out to L.A.  
Can I give you a shout, maybe crash on your couch 
If you hear of any roles that are floatin' around 
That would put me and Ashley Judd making out 
In a steamy love scene, I'd work pretty cheap 
If the phones are down just ask around you'll get ahold of me 
Cause I'm one of the most famous people in the country 
 
G  D  C  D 
 
        Em                         D   C           D        G     
You're talking to one of the most fa---mous people in the country 
 
(keep repeating  G  D  C  D as these words are spoken) 
 
Six-pack, it was wasn't it, you're in that movie six-pack 
You look a lot thinner and younger on TV 
You gaining weight for a role or something? 
Man I'm serious about that Ashley Judd thing 
I'd work for free
