Nashville's Gone Hollywood

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
