A                               D
I have come a long way from the hills of Tennessee

    A                                       E
And I've worked hard to make the folks back home real proud of me

    A                          D
Now everybody knows my name no matter where I go

      A                             E             A
But I never really made it 'til The Johnny Carson Show
[Verse 2]
                                    D
Now I have dreamed of stardom since I was just a kid

  A                                 E
A million dollar dream beneath this thirteen dollar wig

   A                                D
In my bell-bottom jumpsuits with my rhinestones all aglow

    A                                   E             A
I became an over-night success from The Johnny Carson Show
[Chorus]
     D                     A
From polyester paradise to silk and satin frills

       E                                 A
From a forty-eight foot moblie home to a mansion on the hill

     D                              A
From moonshine to rare wine, from a Packard to a Rolls

      D                             E             A
But I never really made it 'til The Johnny Carson Show
[Verse 3]
                                        D
Now there's only one small problem, sometimes I get disturbed

    A                                    E
The folks sometimes get me confused with Monti Rock the Third

    A                                 D
But still I think it's worth it and I just thought you should know

          A                                  E             A
That I'll always owe a special thanks to The Johnny Carson Show
[Chorus]
            D                          A
I went from pop beads to diamonds from car coats to fur

     E                     A
From K-Mart to Gucci, from here no tellin' where

     D                     A
From Hillbilly Heaven to a penthouse on the coast

      D                            E             A
But I never really made it til The Johnny Carson Show
