Hello Nashville Lyrics by Mack Abernathy

2017

[Verse 1]
Hello Nashville, Texas Music's on the line
Calling to see if you have lost your ever-loving mind
'Cause that music y'all call "Country", pardon us, it is not
Y'all confused country music with rock and roll and pop
[Verse 2]
Now, don't get me wrong, we love rock and roll like ZZ and Stevie Ray
They didn't masquerade as country in the rock and roll they made
Maybe y'all have forgotten why Willie came back home
He said he did not fit the mold and his music was all wrong
[Chorus]
Hello, my Nashville brothers and my sisters in rhyme
Y'all come on down to Texas, cleanse your musical mind
We'll go to Larry Joe Taylor's picnic and hear what music's all about
From the stage to the campfire pick-it, you will quickly figure out
That your cookie cutter music, it ain't nothing but lame
It's the same old, same old with a new somebody's name
[Verse 3]
I hear tales of one Nashvillian raggin' old stars of yesterday
He said something about "jackasses" and "gettin' out of the way"
We respect those old troubadours that paved the way for us
'Cause there's a little bit more to this than just smoking on the bus
[Verse 4]
You can call our music "Country," "Red Dirt" or anything
When you hear it on the radio, it won't all sound the same
Like a Nashville playlist brainwashed in the public ear
Y'all come on down to Texas and listen to the radio down here
[Chorus]
So, hello Nashville brothers and my sisters in rhyme
Y'all come on down to Texas, cleanse your musical mind
We'll go to Larry Joe Taylor's picnic and hear what music's all about
From the stage to the campfire picking, you will quickly figure out
That your cookie cutter music, it ain't nothing but lame
It's the same old, same old with a new somebody's name
[Tag]
Y'all come on down to Texas and listen to the radio down here
