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
