From head to toe
I'm dressed in black
As I sing
my country songs
The fans all come
to hear me play
My deep voice
booming out
I was very poor
at times no food
no shoes or clothes
to wear
I went to church
sang in the choir
but wanted to
play a guitar
My cousin Abe
he played a bit
he showed me basic chords
Chorus
My image was
to be in black
Big handsome dude
in black
The ladies seem
to love it
They shout and scream
for the country
boy in black
I got a job
I saved up hard
to buy a
used guitar
I learned to play
and started to sing
I soon had
people notice
I played some bars
I played some clubs
An agent called me up
he pushed me hard
the work was heavy
highlight was in Nashville
supporting a big star
My big break has arrived
Chorus
My image was
to be in black
Big handsome dude
in black
The ladies seem
to love it
They shout and scream
for the country
boy in black
