I was raised on country: a steady
dose of Haggard an' Jones.
were always on the radio.
But everythin' has changed since then,
they say it's for the good.
But I think it's a cry in' 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.
Opry; you'll be singin' on Jay Leno.
They'll put you in the movies,
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.
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 cry in' shame
Nashville's gone Hollywood.
They'll put you in the movies,
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.
