West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Standin' on side of the highway 4 exit[00:00:11]
A lady in tie die a bag by her side[00:00:16]
Not really lookin' like anything special[00:00:20]
Saw Tennessee tags[00:00:25]
And she waved for a ride[00:00:27]
Sat right beside me as the meter hit sixty[00:00:31]
Explainin' her travels[00:00:36]
And her family background[00:00:38]
When she got thru I could not help but thinkin'[00:00:41]
She's a long way from[00:00:45]
A West Nashville grand ballroom gown[00:00:47]
Her father had money and her mother had love[00:00:51]
Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove[00:00:56]
Twenty-two years in societies plan[00:01:01]
Canceled at the swing of her dear mothers hand[00:01:06]
Six hours later we hit Cincinnati[00:01:14]
Yawning she woke and asked where we were[00:01:19]
When she found out she said "I must be going"[00:01:24]
This close to Nashville was too close for her[00:01:29]
So I stopped by the roadside[00:01:40]
And I gave her five dollars[00:01:43]
She took it then kissed me and gave me a note[00:01:45]
She told me just to read it then mail it in Nashville[00:01:50]
On old loose leaf paper to her mother she wrote[00:01:55]
She said Momma I'm fine if you happen to wonder[00:02:01]
I don't have much money but I still get around[00:02:06]
I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays[00:02:11]
So f**k all those[00:02:15]
West Nashville grand ballroom gowns[00:02:17]
Yea she's a long way from[00:02:25]
The West Nashville grand[00:02:26]
Ballroom gowns[00:02:28]
