Nashville Is A Nuthouse

[Jim Colyer]

Nashville Is A Nuthouse
Crazy town in the mid-south
Country songs out your mouth
Nashville Is A Nuthouse

She came here with a big dream
It soon turned to a nightmare
Ended up in the karaoke
Cos she ain't going nowhere
Mamma calls on the cell phone
Begging please, baby, come home
But, mamma, I'm so in love
Pregnant too, so I'm not alone

Nashville Is A Nuthouse
Crazy town in the mid-south
Country songs out your mouth
Nashville Is A Nuthouse

Two kids later and no record deal
Nasty divorce drags on and on
Working as a server to pay the bills
Romantic notions all but gone
Calls her mamma, I'm out of money
Can't pay rent, the kids are hungry
Mamma says, baby, we're on our way
Coming to get you, love you, honey

Nashville Is A Nuthouse
Crazy town in the mid-south
Country songs out your mouth
Nashville Is A Nuthouse

She didn't understand
It's a closed system
If you can't make em money
The won't let you in

Nashville Is A Nuthouse
Crazy town in the mid-south
Country songs out your mouth
Nashville Is A Nuthouse

Nashville Is A Nuthouse
Crazy town in the mid-south
Country songs out your mouth
Nashville Is A Nuthouse
