Well I went to see my honey dew she lived just down the way
I got stuck and my truck broke up and I only got halfway
Sittin' here on a muddy road stuck here all alone
Rain won't stop it's beatin' on the top and I should've stayed at home
I wish I was in Nashville a guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
[ fiddle ]
Must have been a half a day before I got back home
The road's all mud the creek's gonna flood and I'm still here alone
Sure feel good a getin' back to my old shack again
I'm all soaked my radio's broke and the rain keeps pouring in
I wish I was in Nashville...
[ fiddle ]
Gonna get out my old Fender learn me another chord
Gonna pick and grin and play to win like I've done it all before
They'll put me on the Opry the minute I hit town
I'm gonna buy me some boots and rhinestone suits and throw my money around
I wish I was in Nashville...
[ fiddle ]
I wish I was in Nashville...
[ fiddle ]
I wish I was in Nashville...
