rodney crowell - nashville 1972 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i had a dog named banjo and a girl named m-ffin
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
old school nashville
harlan howard, bob mcdill
tom t. hall go drink your fill
and blow us all away

[verse 3]
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 pr-ne to combustion
they fought like dogs in spanish and made love in russian

[bridge]
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

[verse 4]
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 sh-tty song i wrote then puked out in the yard

[chorus]
old school nashville
harlan howard, bob mcdill
tom t. hall, go drink your fill
and blow us all away

[outro]
tom t. hall, go drink your fill
and blow us all away
