I heard them singing on the radio
When I was just a boy
I remember when I got my first guitar
How good it felt to play along
I heard Willie and Johnny Cash
And the king of rock and roll too
Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson
Merle Haggard singing working man blues
Couldn't be more true
Take me back to where it all began
Drinking whiskey by the double with the highwaymen
Home to the brave and the land of free
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
It was my mother, god bless her heart
Who gave me my softer side
She'd play Dolly and Tammy Wynette
And good old Patsy Cline
Singing crazy while she cries
Oh take me back to where it all began
Drinking whiskey by the double with the highwaymen
Home to the brave and the land of free
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
Yeah!
Well you can take the boy from the country
But you'll never take the country out of the boy
No
So take me back to where it all began
Drinking whiskey by the double with the highwaymen
Home to the brave and the land of free
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
Oh take me back to where it all began
Drinking whiskey by the double with those highwaymen
Home to the brave and the land of free
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
I'm going to Nashville Tennessee
