Lyrics:

1983


Well the latest news from Nashville
Ain�t all good, but it ain�t bad
The worst I ever found there
Was the best I ever had
The new hats and the no hats
Are still coming on pretty strong
While me and Kris and John and Willie
Are stilling plodding right along

Clint Black�s moved out to Hollywierd
He�s in love and that�s a fact
Done found himself a movie star
Gonna show him how to act
Garth Brooks keeps selling millions
No that sure ain�t no joke
But I just can�t help looking for
A pig down in the poke

Have you seen Tanya Tucker
Hangin� in there, hangin� tough
Her and Dolly Pardon
Still got much more than enough
But a few new country ladies
That I�ve seen go dancin� past
Should forget about Madonna
She ain�t got no country class

Travis Tritt�s got all the talent
Least it seems that way to me
He�s a little brash and cocky
But he�s got a right to be
Now Billy Ray keeps right on dancin�
Outta tune and outta time
He drives Bubbas up the wall
And girls out of their minds

Livin� legends are a dying breed
There ain�t too many left
To tell the truth, I ain�t been feelin�
Real hot lately my damn self
But I ain�t old and I ain�t bitter
I ain�t mad at anyone
So don�t go takin� seriously
What�s poked at you in fun

But if you�ve ever been to Nashville
I think you might agree
We�ve seen a lot of changes
Things we never thought we�d see
A rock-n-roller with a banjo
Now that I might recall
But a country singer with a brief case
Beats all I ever saw
