Nashville You Ain't Hollywood

Nashville You Ain't Hollywood - Shane Owens/Linda Hargrove

I was appalled when I went to the ball

And I saw you all with your masks on

Yeah I was begrieved 'cause I really believed

All of those things we built the past on

Are they now lies have the diamonds in your eyes

Blinded you so you no longer see

Nashville you ain't Hollywood

Whatever made you hope you would be

Get your feet back on the ground

You're still a country town

That California tide it will take you for a ride

And it will take our pride and try to use it

Yeah and when they've watered down

All the truth that we once found

They'll have to gall to call it country music

But the truth will still be heard

There's no way to stop the word

Somewhere there is someone they can't buy

Nashville you ain't Hollywood

Whatever made you hope you would be

Get your feet back on the ground

You're still a country town

Next year I want to see some soul

This year you showed me all your gold

Give out your awards but the ultimate reward

Comes from a higher hand than yours

Nashville you ain't Hollywood

Whatever made you hope you would be

Get your feet back on the ground

You know you're county

Nashville you ain't Hollywood

Whatever made you hope you would be

Get your feet back on the ground

You're still a country town

Still a country town
