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
