Hillbilly Hell Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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 Cadillac's 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
