[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
I was dGown in music city 'bout a wDeek ago
I waCnted to see the grand old OGpry show
So I hCeld a cap and I hGeaded down to Opryland D
They said they sGold their last ticket the dDay before
So I kCinda just hung around the baGckstage door
And doCwn the steps she Gcame, men oh men
My fGavourite female cDountry star
She wCaved her fans and heGaded for her car
Her tiCre, unlike her boGdy, was very flDat
GShe said, could you chDange my tire
I saiCd your wish is mGy desire
As she raCised the lid, I grGabbed her bomber jack
She said I sure do appreciate you're changing my tire
[Chorus]
If I tGold you who it was, if I tDold you who it was
You'd sCay I was making it Gup
You've seen her on the screen and in coDuntry magazines
You'd tChink I was making it Gup
She said it was our little sDecret and my gCully
I'm gonna kGeep it
Anyway you wouldn't belDieve it
CIf I told you who it wGas
[Verse 2]
GShe said you need a lift and DI said well,
CYou can drop me of at the YGork motel,
CSo we headed down Briley paGrkway in the toDwn
I Gtold her I got all your rDecords ma'am,
She sCmiled and said well GI be damned
Said,C you're kind of cute fellar, wanDna mess aroundG? Hm!
When we got to my room just to Dbe polite
I said sCure wish I could've heard you sGing tonight
She sCmiled at me and sGaid what do you wanna heDar?
Well if GI was one of them coDuntry music folks
I'll tCell you, she'd sure gGet my vote
C For the best perfDormance of the yGear
[Chorus]
If I tGold you who it was, if I tDold you who it was
You'd sCay I was making it Gup
You've seen her on the screen and in coDuntry magazines
You'd tChink I was making it Gup
She said it was our little sDecret and my gCully
I'm gonna kGeep it
Anyway you wouldn't belDieve it
CIf I told you who it wGas
[Bridge]
GWell I tell you this much
When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight
She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes
Took a deep breath and a sigh and said:
[Chorus]
N.C.
"Howdy I'm just so proud to be here!"If I tGold you who it was, if I tDold you who it was
You'd sCay I was making it Gup
You've seen her on the screen and in coDuntry magazines
You'd tChink I was making it Gup
She said it was our little sDecret and my gCully
I'm gonna kGeep it
Anyway you wouldn't belDieve it
CIf I told you who it wGas
