Tar Top lyrics
It was July hot cross Georgia on my way to myrtle beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over and Alabama was far away
From being little more than just a southern state

I got a gig down at the Bowery
I played for tip and watered drinks
Just a novice in a business
That s seldom what it seems

And where are you goin tar top
Where s J.C. and the chosen few?
I saw the flash without T.Gentry
And B.V. left for Malibu

I was July, hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to be standin in his shoes

But in the Bowery hangs the memories
Of dreams that still come true
Every time I see the spotlights
I m one of the chosen few

And where are you going tar top
J.C. and the chosen few
There s no flash without T.Gentry
B.V. where are you?

Where are you goin tar top
Which direction will you take
What s this contrabanded clamor
About the music that you make?

And where are you goin tar top
Is it country enough?
Is it contemporary glamor?
No it s us, just us
