Ben Colder - Country Music Hall Of Fame lyrics

(I dreamed I was there with the stars) Last night I dreamed I went on a tour Through the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville Tennesse And my guide was none other than America's most beloved cowboy Tex Ritter First we stood outside and he said this is the place where Big Joe Talbet Threw the detergent in the fountain here at the CMA And made such a mountain of suds That it floated down the 16th Avenue and engulfed Columbia Studio Then we went inside and he said here in the first section You will see the actual boots that Ernest Tubb wore The night he wrote that fantastic smash I'm Walking The Floor Over You You'll notice that the soles are a little thin but then so is Ernest He said this is the actual fiddle bow that fiddlin' Chubby used on stage The night he knocked the toupee off of the little cowboy And this is the actual toupee that the little cowboy wore You'll notice that it's still attached to the fiddle bow And this is the little cowboy you'll notice he's still attached to the toupee Aw he showed me many wonderful thing He even showed me the pulley bone from Minnie Pearl's first fried chicken And he gave me an autographed picture Of America's most beloved cowboy on his wonder horse White Flash And showed me a list of all the people That would be entered in the Music Hall of Fame In the next ten to fifteen years I started to read Jack Clement Merv Shiner Jim Vienneau Bonnie Guitar and her sister Fender Cy Coben Ben Colder Ben Colder well that's when I woke up and I'm kinda sorry I did Because I figure that's as about as close as I'm ever gonna get To the Country Music Hall of Fame
