Lyrics for West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | Standin' on side of the highway 4 exit
A lady in tie die, a bag by her side
Not really
lookin' like anything special
Saw Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride
Sat right
beside me as the meter hit sixty
Explainin' her travels and her family background
When she
got thru I could not help but thinkin'
She's a long way from a West Nashville grand ballroom
gown
Her father had money and her mother had love
Channeled entirely to her dear sister
Dove
Twenty-two years in societies plan
Canceled at the swing of her dear mothers
hand
Six hours later we hit Cincinnati
Yawning she woke and asked where we
were
When she found out she said "I must be going"
This close to Nashville was too close for
her
So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her five dollars
She took it then kissed me
and gave me a note
She told me just to read it then mail it in Nashville
On old loose leaf
paper to her mother she wrote
She said Momma I'm fine if you happen to wonder
I don't have
much money but I still get around
I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays
So fuck
all those West Nashville grand ballroom gowns
Yea, she's a long way from the West Nashville
grand
