West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown - Todd Snider[00:00:00]
Written by:Jimmy Buffet/Eric McConnell/Todd Snider[00:00:03]
Standin' on side of the highway 4 exit[00:00:21]
A lady in tie dye a bag by her side[00:00:29]
Not seeing really lookin' like anything special[00:00:37]
Saw Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride[00:00:45]
Sat right beside me as the meter hit sixty[00:00:53]
Splainin' her travels and her family background[00:00:58]
When she got through I could not help but thinkin'[00:01:06]
She's a long way from a West Nashville grand ballroom[00:01:14]
Gown[00:01:18]
She's a long way from a West Nashville grand ballroom[00:01:22]
Gown[00:01:26]
Father had money and her mother had love[00:01:31]
Channelled entirely to her dear sister dove[00:01:39]
Twenty two years in society's plan[00:01:47]
Was cancelled in the swing of her dear mother's hand[00:01:56]
Six hours later we hit cincinnati[00:02:04]
Yawnin' she woke up and then asked where we were[00:02:12]
When she found out she said I must be goin'[00:02:21]
In this close to Nashville was too close for her[00:02:28]
So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her[00:02:37]
Five dollars[00:02:40]
She took it then kissed me and gave me a[00:02:41]
Note[00:02:45]
She told me just to read it then mail it[00:02:50]
In nashville[00:02:53]
On old loose leaf paper to her mother she wrote[00:02:58]
She said mama I'm fine if you happen to wonder[00:03:06]
I don't have much money but I still get around[00:03:14]
I haven't made church in near thirty six sundays[00:03:23]
So f**k all those West Nashville grand ballroom gowns[00:03:31]
Yes she's a long way from a west nashville grand[00:03:38]
Ballroom gown[00:03:42]
