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 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

Yeah in the cold cold heart of Tennessee...
