I was raised on country: a steady dose of Haggard an' Jones.
|
Conway and Loretta, were always on the radio.
|
But everythin' has changed since then, they say it's for the good.
|
But I think it's a cryin' shame Nashville's gone Hollywood.
|
|
You won't need a steel guitar in your watered down rock 'n roll.
|
An' you might even find yourself on the cover of The Rolling Stone.
|
You'll be lookin' mighty fine in your designer clothes.
|
An' you won't need the Opry; you'll be singin' on Jay Leno.
|
|
They'll put you in the movies,
|
You'll have your video.
|
An' if you're young an' sexy,
|
You'll be rollin' in the dough.
|
You'll sell a million records,
|
Oh, that must mean you're good.
|
Move on over, Ernest Tubb,
|
Nashville's gone Hollywood.
|
|
I'm still giggin' on Broadway, makin' rounds on Music Row.
|
Hopin', maybe someday, I'll hear my song on the radio.
|
But they say I'm too country: I wouldn't change it if I could.
|
'Cause I think it's a cryin' shame Nashville's gone Hollywood.
|
|
They'll put you in the movies,
|
You'll have your video.
|
An' if you're young an' sexy,
|
You'll be rollin' in the dough.
|
You'll sell a million records,
|
Oh, that must mean you're good.
|
Move on over, Ernest Tubb,
|
Nashville's gone Hollywood.
|
|
Yeah, move on over, Ernest Tubb,
|
Nashville's gone Hollywood.
