Well, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride

I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide

Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

Milwaukee is where we were before we came here

Workin' in a Bluerry making the finest steer

You come to me on payday night said let's go to Tennessee

So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry.

Well, we were watchin' TV, Ernest Tubb was singin' loud

I said that's the man for me, I love him there's no doubt

I'm leavin' you there's no doubt to find out where he's at

Never can get 'em, I'm settled for that bluegrass Lester Flatt.

Oh, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride

I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide

Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm a goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for a nose

Honey, I might get all drunk up and trade it for the rose

There's a one thing I know for sure I'll always be blue

There ain't no way get drunk enough to stop lovin' you.

So, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna leave this town till you decide

Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

Oh, Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee...
