Verse 1

   A                                D
Oh baby you're so curious 'bout the new songs I've been writing
A                                 G E
Since I'm number one on Bluegrass Ra-dio.
    A                           D
You knew I was a writer but you couldn't name a title
       A                                 E A    A
That I wrote before I broke on Bluegrass Ra-dio.

Chorus

       F#m                  B
Number three in California, five in Arizona
E                              A
didn’t seem to mean a thing to you
           A                        D
But I went number one in Texas, and now you fix me breakfast
A              C                E A
Because I am a hit on Bluegrass Ra-dio
A E A

Verse 2

      A                                D
Fifty thousand WATTS of power and they play me every hour
A                            G E
Paul McCartney you can stand aside
        A                                      D
But the bluegrass charts have picked me, now I headline Hardly Strictly
    A               C                 E A
You can’t escape my song on Bluegrass Radio

didn’t seem to mean a thing to you

But I went number one in Texas, and now you fix me breakfast
A              C                E A

Bridge

  F                G
I check the charts every day
Em              F
What do all the critics say?
   F              G                Am
Am I the guy that they all love to hate?
     F             G
They seem to be so choosy
     Em                   F
Just because I can’t read music
        F                                    E
But who cares? (He's number one on Bluegrass Radio)

Verse 3

A                                D
Baby you're so curious 'bout the new songs I've been writing
A                               G E
Now I'm number one on Bluegrass Ra-dio.
      A                           D
Could this one be another monster hit just like the other?
A                               E A
Another number one on Bluegrass Radio?

Chorus

       F#m                  B7
Number three in California, five in Arizonia
             E                                A
They’re just truck stops on the way to number one
A                            D                     A
Now that I’m a winner I have Chick Fil-A for dinner

Yesterday I couldn't function, now I'm played at Bluegrass Junction

Let me straighten my toupee, I'm playing at IBMA.

Since I'm number one on Bluegrass Radio
