Hollywood Hillbilly Lyrics - Dale Watson

From Tennessee the shaky town; 

that little boy did good. 

He's got his name up in lights; 

he's the top of Hollywood. 

You take a boy out of the country; 

and he's a country boy still. 

He looks down at the city lights; 

from his Hollywood hills. 

He's a Hollywood hillbilly, 

stearing along bearing willie, johnny cash and lefty; 

down with a sunset in mind. 

No he ain't one to try to hide it; 

he's a southern man with southern pride. 

That ridge runner just kickin back; 

sippin' on the moonshine. 

You know what; 

he's gettin culture out there, 

as you know he's a tribute to the stars. 

Tinsle-touls's got tensle-ladies; 

with tinsle sights on his car. 

His belongings are little chickbutts, 

and the apple of his eye. 

Crippled dog and friends and family, 

are always by his side. 

He's a Hollywood hillbilly, 

stearing along bearing willie, johnny cash and lefty; 

down with a sunset in mind. 

No he ain't one to try to hide it; 

he's a southern man with southern pride. 

That ridgerunner just kickin back; 

sippin' on the moonshine. 

That ridgerunner just kickin back, 

kickin back, 

kickin back, 

[oh hand me that jar] 

kickin back, 

kickin back, 

sippin' on the moonshine.
