Hillbilly Hell Songtext
von Bobby Bare

My friends and my mother
They all like my songs
They said, "Boy, Nashville is where you belong"
And I agreed the music world probably needed me
Well, Music City, here I am
But I don′t think anybody gives a damn


In the cold, cold heart of Tennessee
There's ten thousand dreamers just like me
With a song and a guitar and a message to tell
Come to find heaven in hillbilly hell

Another day a-watchin′ the Cadillacs go past
Writin' songs in my head while I'm a pumpin′ gas
Eatin′ beans and wearin' jeans and sleepin′ in my car
I hope the folks back home will understand
It's gonna take a little longer than I planned

In the cold, cold heart of Tennessee
Yeah, there′s ten thousand dreamers just like me
With a song and a guitar and a message to tell
Come to find heaven in hillbilly hell
