nashville is a groovy little town

my plane set down in nashville at a quarter after 2

a little while and i'd be on my way back home to you

while i was waitin' for my flight

got out and looked around

nashville is a groovy little town

i met some entertainers and they had an extra girl

i told them i was just a tourist out to see the world

from one place to another

yes we really made the rounds

nashville is a groovy little town

next day they all took me in just like they did before

i guess i'm trying to tell you i won't be home anymore

now this may sound poetic

but i'm happy as a clown

nashville is a groovy little town

remember how i used to sit and drink and play guitar

and i'd get up and sing for all those folks at jody's bar

well i found out it ain't too bad

the way i pick and sound

nashville is a groovy little town

you know that nest egg that we buried in the bank awhile

take it out and spend it darlin'

dress yourself in style

you have always been a swinger and now i won't be around

nashville is a groovy little town

i've got myself a little shack out on ol' hickory lake

and now and then i get a gig and buy myself a steak

y'know

they published one of my old songs

they're showing it around

nashville is a groovy little town

you remember all those tranquilizers that i used to take

well i'm not on those anymore

i'm on old hickory lake

so when you start cryin' here's the best one-liner i have found

what else you got? yes

nashville is a groovy little town
