Hillbilly Hollywood Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I can still remember my first guitar 

Bright and shiny like a brand new car 

Even took it with me when I went to school 

And I practiced every day till I got real good 

I learned every lick on the radio 

From Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go 

I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues 

Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes 

[Chorus] 

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights 

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night 

Standing where my heroes stood 

Hillbilly Hollywood

I played some bars where you never want to go 

From Oklahoma City down to Tupelo 

My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell 

When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel 

[Chorus] 

And I pray before too long 

They will hear my song 

Photos 

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights 

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night 

Standing where my heroes stood 

I dreamed grand old Opry on a Saturday night standing 

Hillbilly Hollywood
