Lyrics - Nashville is a Groovy Little Town by 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
