lyrics

Just a washed up never was
The music biz passed just because
They didn’t hear a hit
He couldn't sing a lick
But it’s a damn good story

He drove a seventy-six Camaro car
Park the thing out front by the bar
Jump through the window
And put on a show
Those were some days of glory

Then he moved up to Nashville town
That's where he put his roots down

You’d catch him playing every Friday the 13th
That's when he published his own magazine
About adventures and his songs
Everyone sang along
And they made a few records

But his career never got off the ground
Only once did the band tour out of town
But he made some good friends
Yeah the party never ends
Even when you don’t win an award

If you're ever in Nashville town
You can find him on Friday the 13th every time that date rolls around...

He’s just a washed up never was
Music biz passed just because
They didn’t hear a hit
He couldn’t sing a lick
But it’s a damn good story
