Carrying On What Nashville Left Behind

There's a girl at the bar

Said she likes the way I play this old guitar

Then she asks me

Oh pretty please

Could you play a song for me

Well I tried not to crack a smile

I said I'm sorry honey that just ain't my style

You call that country

Well I disagree

That song don't sound like anything to me

But I'l play some Waylon

Hank Williams too

I like Johnny Horton

Honey how bout you

Call me old fashioned

That suits me fine

I'm carrying on

What Nashville left behind

She got mad

Turned and walked away

I didn't hesitate to get back on that stage

Grabbed my guitar

And I turned it up

And we played Merle Haggard

Till the sun come up

But I'll play some Johnny

I'll play some Buck

Yeah if you don't like it

Well you're just out of luck

Call me old fashioned

That suits me fine

I'm carrying on

What Nashville left behind

How bout some possum

Or Willie Nelson

If you like the new stuff then

How bout Alan Jackson

Call me a dinosaur

That suits me fine

I'm carrying on

What Nashville left behind

I'm carrying on

What Nashville left behind
