Nashville Rash

Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash
 It's lookin' like I'm fallin' in the cracks
 I'm too country now for country, ain't that just like Johnny Cash?
 Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash
 I should've known it when they closed the Old Opry down
 And things are bound to change there in that town, and they did
 You can't grow if you rip your roots out of the ground
 It looks like that Nashville rash gettin' 'round
 Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash
 It's lookin' like I'm fallin' in the cracks
 I'm too country now for country, ain't that just like Johnny Cash
 Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash, that's right
 Ow-ho

 Now ain't it funny how things really, really change
 Hell, the pop songs of the '80s and the '70s sounds like country hits today
 Breaks my heart to see all my heroes fadin' away (well, that was nice?)
 Victims of Nashville's rash, Nashville's ways
 Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash
 It's lookin' like I'm fallin' in the cracks
 I'm too country now for country, ain't that just like Johnny Cash, hmm
 Yeah, get rhythm when you get the blues
 Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
 Only cost a dime, that nickel a shoe, does a thousand dollars worth of good for you
 Get rhythm, yeah you get the blues
 Help me Merle, I'm breakin' out in a Nashville rash, that's right
