Lyrics for Song: Nashville Is a Groovy Little Town
Lyrics for Album: Homecoming [Mercury] [1969]
(Tom T. Hall)
"Groovy was a popular word at the time.
I just wrote that song to say that Nashville was groovy.
It's about a songwriter."
My plane sat down in Nashville at a quarter after two
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 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 tryin' 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 darling 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 old Hickory Lake
And now and then I get a gig and buy myself a steak
You know they published one of my old songs they're showin' it around
Nashville is a groovy little town.
You remember all those tranquilisers that I used to take
Well I'm not on those anymore I'm on old Hickory Lake
So when you start crying here's the best one-liner I have found
What else you got, yes, Nashville is a groovy little town...
