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

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

Nashville is a groovy little town
