Letra de 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

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 finish

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 rouseabout 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 Wille Nelson
With some friends at a party
I was twenty-two, yeah so
He must have been pushing forty

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
