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
