Tom T. Hall - Nashville Is A Groovy Little Town lyrics

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

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

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


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

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
Why'know, they published one of
My old songs, they're showing it around

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
