    Buck Owens---Act Naturally

    They're gonna put me in the movies
    They're gonna make a big star out of me
    We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
    And all I have to do is act naturally

    CHORUS
    Well, I bet you I'm gonna be a big star
    Might win an Oscar you can never tell
    The movie's gonna make me a big star,
    'Cause I can play the part so well

    Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
    Then I'll know that you will plainly see
    The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
    And all I have to do is act naturally

    We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
    Begging down upon his bended knee
    I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
    All I have to do is act naturally
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Buck Owens.....part of the soundtrack of my pre-teen years. Mom and Dad listened to country, and this was before Walkmen, Discmen and iPods so I was a captive audience. One of the few acts that I still appreciated as I aged, Johnny Cash being another example. "The Streets of Bakersfield" is probably my favorite of his songs.

    Rest in Peace, Buck, rest in peace....you were an icon.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
