《West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown》歌词

[00:00:00] West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:11] Standin' on side of the highway 4 exit

[00:00:16] A lady in tie die a bag by her side

[00:00:20] Not really lookin' like anything special

[00:00:25] Saw Tennessee tags

[00:00:27] And she waved for a ride

[00:00:31] Sat right beside me as the meter hit sixty

[00:00:36] Explainin' her travels

[00:00:38] And her family background

[00:00:41] When she got thru I could not help but thinkin'

[00:00:45] She's a long way from

[00:00:47] A West Nashville grand ballroom gown

[00:00:51] Her father had money and her mother had love

[00:00:56] Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove

[00:01:01] Twenty-two years in societies plan

[00:01:06] Canceled at the swing of her dear mothers hand

[00:01:14] Six hours later we hit Cincinnati

[00:01:19] Yawning she woke and asked where we were

[00:01:24] When she found out she said "I must be going"

[00:01:29] This close to Nashville was too close for her

[00:01:40] So I stopped by the roadside

[00:01:43] And I gave her five dollars

[00:01:45] She took it then kissed me and gave me a note

[00:01:50] She told me just to read it then mail it in Nashville

[00:01:55] On old loose leaf paper to her mother she wrote

[00:02:01] She said Momma I'm fine if you happen to wonder

[00:02:06] I don't have much money but I still get around

[00:02:11] I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays

[00:02:15] So f**k all those

[00:02:17] West Nashville grand ballroom gowns

[00:02:25] Yea she's a long way from

[00:02:26] The West Nashville grand

[00:02:28] Ballroom gowns
