Lyrics:

1980
Writer: David Bellamy

My baby writes them country songs
And she wants me to come along
And play 'em for the folks up there in Nashville

I told her to lay back down
They don't want us in Music Town
But that woman's got a stubborn will

I said honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
Or even in the state of Tennessee
Honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
So why don't you just lay back down with me

We lay there and make love at night
But somehow things just don't seem right
Baby cries to take her songs to Nashville

I told her don't be insane
It's hell in that-there music game
But she's got dreams to find and then fulfill

I said honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
Or even in the state of Tennessee
Honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
So why don't you just lay back down with me

My baby went and packed her bags
Put on her boots and her best rags
Says she's gonna ride her thumb to Nashville

I got my butt up out of the bed
I shaved my face and wet my head
I love her so we're going to find her thrill

I said honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
Or even in the state of Tennessee
Honey, we don't know no one in Nashville
So why don't we go see who we can see
Yeah, why don't we go see who we can see

Oh hell, we might even see Johnny Cash
