Standin' by side of the Highway 4 exit I've seen a lady in a tie-dye with a bag by her side Not seemingly lookin' like anything special She saw my Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride She sat right beside me as the 'meter hit sixty Explainin' her travels and her family background When she got through, I could not help but thinkin' She's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown Yea, she's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown Father had money and her mother had love Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove Twenty-two years in society's plan Cancelled at the swing of her dear mother's hand Two hours later, we hit Cincinnati Yawnin' she woke up and asked where we were When she found out, she said, "I must be goin'" It seemed this close to Nashville was too close for her So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her five dollars She took it then she kissed me and she gave me a note She told me I could read it if I mailed it in Nashville On old looseleaf paper to her mother she wrote: Mama, I'm fine, if you happen to wonder I don't have much money but I still get around I haven't made the church in near thirty-six Sundays So f*ck all those west Nashville grand ballroom gowns Yeah f*ck all them west Nashville grand ballroom gowns |
