I was down in music city 'bout a week agoI wanted to see the brand old Loper showso I held a cap and I headed down to OprylandThey said they sold their last ticked the day beforeso I kinda just hung around the backstage doorand down the steps she came, men oh menMy favourite female country starshe waved her fans and headed for her carHer tire, unlike her body, was very flatShe said, could you change my tireI said your wish is my desireAs she raised the lid, I grabbed her bomber jackShe said I sure do appreciate you're changing my tireIf I told you who it was, if I told you who it wasYou'd say I was making it upYou've seen her on the screen and in country magazinesYou'd think I was making it upShe said it was our little secret and my gullyOh I'm gonna keep itAnyway you wouldn't believe itIf I told you who it wasShe said you need a lift and I said wellyou can drop me of at the York motelso we headed down Briley parkway in the townI told her I got all your records ma'amshe smiled and said well I be damnedShe said, you're kind of cute fellar, wanna mess around?When we got to my room just the people liedI said sure wish I could've heard you sing tonightShe smiled at me and said what do you wanna hear?Well if I was one of them country music folksI'll tell you, she'd sure get my votefor the best performance of the yearIf I told you who it was, if I told you who it wasYou'd say I was making it upYou've seen her on the screen and in country magazinesYou'd think I was making it upShe said it was our little secret and my gullyOh I'm gonna keep itAnyway you wouldn't believe itIf I told you who it wasWell I tell you this muchwhen I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tightShe looked up at me with those big beautiful eyestook a deep breath in the side and said"Howdy I'm just so proud to be here! "If I told you who it was, if I told you who it wasYou'd say I was making it upYou've seen her on the screen and in country magazinesYou'd think I was making it upShe said it was our little secret and my gullyOh I'm gonna keep itAnyway you wouldn't believe itIf I told you who it was
