Milwaukee Here I Come Lyrics - In Spite Of Ourselves - John Prine

I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride 

I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide 

Which one you want the most, them Opry stars or me 

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee 

Milwaukee is where we were before we came here 

Working in a brewery, making the finest beer 

You came to me on a payday night, said, "Let's go to Tennessee" 

So we drove to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry 

I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride 

I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide 

Which one you want the most, those Opry stars or me 

Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee 

We were watching TV, Ernest Tubb was singing loud 

I said, "That's the man for me I love him, there's no doubt 

I'm leaving you and going now to find out where he's at 

If I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt"
