Tootsie's Wall

(All the names are written there on Tootsie's wall)

I showed up in Nashville broke and scared

With an old guitar that I had played for you

Walked into a bar and they were havin' a ball

And I noticed all the names on Tootsie's wall

Roger Miller had a spot Faron Young some guy shot

The Wilburn Brothers Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff

Now I wish that I was up there with them all

I just gotta get my name on Tootsie's wall

I made a connection with some luck

A publisher said son I like your stuff

And I left this office feelin' ten feet tall

And thinkin' about the names on Tootsie's wall

Tex Ritter wrote his name and he's in the Hall of Fame

The Osborne Brother and the Glasers too

And so many Hanks I couldn't read them all

Will there be space for me on Tootsie's wall

Then I've wrote a song and the I recorded it

Guess what happened the darn thing was a hit

And I knew I'd found success cause after all

Yesterday they wrote my name on Tootsie's wall

Now I'm up there with the best Loretta Lynn and Dottie West

Minnie Pearl and Patsy Cline was up there too

And a thousand more that I just can't recall

And I was squeezed in with the rest on Tootsie's wall

There is Jack Greene

Jean Shepard there's Warner Mack

Jan Howard she's just there

Now there's Jay Lee Webb he's up there too

Jordanaires Kitty Wells
