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

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
