Owens, Buck - Act Naturally Lyrics






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 got to do is act naturally

Well, I bet you I'm a 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's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.

We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And 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.

Well, I bet you I'm a 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's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally...

    I was born the 1st day of 1963. I was born with hip dysphasia and didn't walk till I was 3. My dad used to take me around the neighborhood in the wagon or carry me and he would sing to me and this was one of his favorites that he would sing I will remember anyways times like that. I lost my dad 31/2 years ago and it has been the hardest thing ever. We were extremely close and he was the best man ever. I sure don't make them like that anymore.

    K.... K....

    @Michael Luther Back in my radio days, Buck offered me a job at KUZZ. I turned it down because it was an hour and a half commute, and I didn't want to move down there. But I enjoyed the times I got to talk to him.

  92. C.... L....

    This song was featured as the title track on the dark depressing documentary Capturing The Friedmans (2003). One of the most devastating experiences I've had, one of, if not the greatest documentary I've ever seen.

    ZZ Top covered this live in Houston last night. It rocked!!!

  94. R.... H....

    They should have used this for the season finale of Bojack Horseman.

  96. R.... V....

    Great!!!!! ty

  97. H.... T....

    Nothing wrong with Buck Owens - but The Beatles' version has a tighter rhythm, it's more Rock and less Country.

    H.... T....

    Nailed it Hugh! Probably that's what pisses country fans off.

  98. e.... b....

    Ringo and Buck's voices are a kinda similar

  99. M.... M....

    A real man's singer!!!! alpha male music!
