Nylon Mustang ~ Nashville Girl


"We got mail-order verses to the tune of 'Hickory Wind', that a local band rehearses, but I'd never go back again if I had a Nashville Girl."

Nashville Girl
recorded by Nylon Mustang
written by Marty Galloway, © 1985

Last night I dreamed I was on the Grand Old Opry, accepting my success
And thanking all the little people for helping me along the way
You know, I've had to pass through a lot of hard country
And I just want to do this special dedication to a little girl from Music City, U.S.A.

Well there oughta be a law against this hanging around
Well bust my britches and tell me who's sorry now
Narrow my demographic, let the jukebox play for me
Somewhere in the traffic there's an easy way to be free

If I had a Nashville girl
I could play a part on the biggest stage in the world
Nashville girl

Well this thing could be catchy, I don't know
Check up with the experts down on Music Row
We got mail-order verses to the tune of "Hickory Wind"
That a local band rehearses, but I'd never go back again

If I had a Nashville girl
High on a hill just looking down at the world
Nashville girl

You don't know any other way and you're destined for the PTA
Leading a discussion group to ban the songs I wrote for you
And I hear your mama calling, she speaks for your daddy too
Well I'm not above crawling my way to get to you

If I had a Nashville girl
I could play a part on the biggest stage in the world
If I had a Nashville girl
High on a hill just looking down at the world
Nashville girl
