[intro]

C F G C
C F G C

C F G C
Standing on the side of the Highway 4 exit
F G C
A lady in tie-dye, a bag by her side
F G C
Not really looking like anything special
F G C
Saw Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride

F G C
Sat right beside me as the meter hit sixty
F G C
Explaining her travels and her family background
F G C
When she got through, I could not help but thinking
F G C
She's a long way from the West Nashville Grand Ballroom gown

G D G
Her father had money and her mother had love
D G
Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove
D G
Twenty-two years in society's plan
F D
Was cancelled with a swing of her dear mother's hand

C F G C
Six hours later, we hit Cincinnati
F G C
Yawning she woke and then asked where we were
F G C
When she found out, she said, "I must be going"
F G C
This close to Nashville was too close for her

F G C

F G C
So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her five dollars
F G C
She took it then kissed me and gave me a note
F G C
She told me just to read it then mail it in Nashville
F G C
On old looseleaf paper to her mother she wrote

G D G
She said, "Mama, I'm fine, if you happen to wonder
D G
I don't have much money but I still get around
D G
I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays
D G
So fuck all those West Nashville Grand Ballroom gowns"

C F G C

F G C
Yeah, she's a long way from the West Nashville Grand Ballroom gown
