Now you know some fellahs, they want fame and fortune
Yeah, and other fellahs they just wanna swing
But all I wanted all my life
Was a TV set and a truck and a wife
And a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

Yeah the TV and the truck I got on credit
And I got that girl with a little old Woolworth ring
And life was warm and life was sweet
But still, it was kinda incomplete
Without a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

Hey, John you walk the line
Do Deelia one more time
And when you do them Cottonfields
You warm this heart of mine

So, one day I thought, hey, I'm gonna do it!
(That's what I said)
So, I mortgaged the farm and pawned her wedding ring
I sold the gold tooth out of my mouth
And jumped in the pickup and headed South
For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

I hit Nashville cold and wet and hungry
I said, I'm here, bring him on let him do his thing
But they told me down at the Old Pit Grill
I'd have to go all the way to Andersonville
For a front row seat to hear ole Jonny sing

I found his house knocked on the door and it was opened
By a brown-haired girl and a baby with a teethin' ring
I said I seen you somewhere before
But don't stand there and block the door
I want a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

She said I'd have to go down to The Opry
And the feller there said I'd have to wait till Spring
He said, we've been sold out for months and months
And this poor insane fellah wants
A front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

Well, he said a couple more things, and I started cryin'
And then he laughed at me and that's when I started to swing
Well I bust through the doors in a roaring rage
Crawled over the crowd till I reached the stage
For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

Then some crazy guard started shootin'
I shot back, and the next thing I know I was winged
And on the floor
When a guy in a voice kinda deep and low
Says, boy that's a mighty long way to go
For a front row seat to hear anybody sing

And I guess that judge, he weren't no music lover
I got fifteen months but that don't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday in the prison yard
A show come through and har! De har!
I had a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
