Nashville is a Groovy Little Town — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

My plane set down in nashville at a quarter after 2

A little while and Id 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 Im trying to tell you I wont be home anymore

Now this may sound poetic, but Im happy as a clown

Nashville is a groovy little town



Remember how I used to sit and drink and play guitar

And Id get up and sing for all those folks at jodys bar

Well I found out it aint 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 wont be around

Nashville is a groovy little town



Ive got myself a little shack out on ol hickory lake

And now and then I get a gig and buy myself a steak

Yknow, they published one of my old songs, theyre showing it around

Nashville is a groovy little town



You remember all those tranquilizers that I used to take

Well Im not on those anymore, Im on old hickory lake

So when you start cryin heres the best one-liner I have found

What else you got? yes, nashville is a groovy little town
