Bobby Bare Hillbilly Hell lyrics

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 Cadillac 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
Yeah, in the cold cold heart of Tennessee
