| My brother gave me a great idea |
| He said we could be a success |
| But we didn't make it in marketing |
| So we turned in our ties and our vests |
| We sold all our forms and computers, then |
| We bought a P.A. and guitars |
| We set out to be rock 'n' rollers |
| Thinking that we would be stars |
| |
| We tried all our stuff at the local bars |
| Needless to say, we went broke |
| The laughter and jeers from the audience |
| Sent our rock 'n' roll dreams up in smoke |
| So we tried our hand at the country sound |
| 'Cause Bluegrass is closer to home |
| But our style was lacking a certain finesse |
| We spent our debut night alone |
| |
| So we took the Greyhound to Lexington |
| To wait for a bus goin' west |
| While browsing through books in the gift shop there |
| We found what would be our success |
| In the back, on a rack by the girlie mags |
| In a section labelled "How To" |
| We found a book called "Country Star" |
| And this is what it said to do: |
| |
| It said, "Sing one, one, and then four |
| One, one, and then four |
| One, one, and then four, again" |
| Then it said, "Five and then one" |
| |
| It's been six months and we're at DollyWood |
| In Branson we made a big splash |
| GAC plays all our videos |
| We're rollin' in mountains of cash |
| Now we get hounded for autographs |
| Our bus fleet takes us to our gigs |
| All our best stuff, it got shot down in flames |
| Then this simple song made us big |
| |
| It goes, "One, one, and then four |
| One, one, and then four |
| One, one, and then four, again" |
| Then it goes, "Five and then one" |
| Then it goes, "Five and then one" |
| "Five one" |
| "Five one" |
| "Five one" |
| "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive one" |
