West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown
By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
Intro: C F G C F G
CStandin' on Fside of the GHighway 4 Cexit
A CLady in a Ftie-dye with a Gbag by her Cside
CNot really Flookin' like Ganything Cspecial
Saw CTennessee Ftags and she Gwaved for a Cride
Sat right beside me as the 'meter hit sixty
'Splainin' her travels and her family background
When she got through, I could not help but thinkin'
She's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown
Chorus:
GFather had money and her Dmother had Glove
Channeled entirely to her Ddear sister GDove
Twenty-two years in soDciety's Gplan
Was cancelled with a swing of her Fdear mother's Dhand
Six hours later, we hit Cincinatti
Yawnin' she woke and then asked where we were
When she found out, she said, "I must be goin'"
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 and mail it Nashville
On old looseleaf paper to her mother she wrote:
Chorus:
She said: Mama, 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 *** all those west Nashville grand ballroom gowns
(she's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown)
Enjoy!
