Nashville 1972 |
| I had a dog named Banjo and a girl named Muffin |
| I’d blew in from Texas, I didn’t know nothin' |
| But I found my way around this town with a friend I’d made named Guy |
| Who loved Susanna and so did I |
| Now there was this run-down shack on Acklen Avenue that I shared with Skinny |
| Dennis |
| And a poet, name of Richard Dobson who had a novel he’d never finished |
| And that’s when Johnny Rodriguez, David Olney, and Steve Earle first came |
| through |
| And every other guitar bum whose name I never knew |
| Old school Nashville |
| Harlan Howard, Bob McDill |
| Tom T. Hall go drink your fill |
| And blow us all away |
| There was this tight-rope walker who called herself the Queen of Poughkeepsie |
| Who ran away from the circus with this roustabout redneck gypsy |
| They were Townes Van Zandt fans and prone to combustion |
| They fought like dogs in Spanish and made love in Russian |
| I wish Newberry and Buck White |
| Would drop on by the house tonight |
| Things have changed around here, you bet |
| But it don’t seem much better yet |
| I first met Willie Nelson with some friends at a party |
| I was twenty-two, yeah so, and he must have been pushing forty |
| Now there was hippies and reefer and God knows what all, I was drinking pretty |
| hard |
| I played him this shitty song I wrote then puked out in the yard |
| Old school Nashville |
| Harlan Howard, Bob McDill |
| Tom T. Hall, go drink your fill |
| And blow us all away |
| Tom T. Hall, go drink your fill |
| And blow us all away |
