I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
Which one you want the most, them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
Milwaukee, is a where we were, before we came here
Workin' in a brewery, making the finest beer
You come to me on a payday night, said, "Let's go to Tennessee"
So, we came down to Nashville, to the Grand Ole Opery
Well, we were watchin' TV, Porter Wagoner, was singin' loud
I said, "That's the man for me", I love him, there's no doubt
I'm leavin' now, see if I can find out where he's at
An' if I can't get him, I'll settle for that bluegrass, Lester Flatt
Oh, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
Which one you want the most, me or Wilma Lee
Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
I'm a goin' now, and trade my ol' Ford for an Olds'
Honey, I might get all drunked up, and trade it for a Rolls
But there's one thing I know for sure, I'll always be blue
There ain't no way, to get drunk enough, to stop lovin' you
So, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike, and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town, till you decide
Which one you want the most, me or Jerry Reed
Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Milwaukee, here I come, from Nashville, Tennessee
