Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Hillbilly Hollywood




I can still remember my first guitar
bright and shiny like a brand new car
even took it with me when I went to school
and I practiced every day till I got real good

I learned every lick on the radio
from Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go
I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues
then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes

and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on on a Saturday night
standing where my heroes stood
hillbilly Hollywood

i played some bars where you never wanna go
from Oklahoma City down to Tupelo
my ears would be ringing like an old fire bell
When I`d lay me down in some cheap hotel

and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night
standing where my heroes stood
hillbilly Hollywood

and I pray before too long
they will hear my song

and I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry o n a Saturday night
standing where my heroes stood
i dreamed grand old Opry on a Saturday night standing . .
hillbilly Hollywood hillbilly Hollywood hillbilly Hollywood
