Intro: C F G C F G

C F G C

Standin' on side of the Highway 4 exit

C F G C

A Lady in a tie-dye with a bag by her side

C F G C

Not really lookin' like anything special

C F G C

Saw Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride

Sat right beside me as the 'meter hit sixty

'Splainin' her travels and her family background

When she got through, I could not help but thinkin'

She's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown

Chorus:

G D G

Father had money and her mother had love

D G

Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove

D G

Twenty-two years in society's plan

F D

Was cancelled with a swing of her dear mother's hand

Six hours later, we hit Cincinatti

Yawnin' she woke and then asked where we were

When she found out, she said, "I must be goin'"

This close to Nashville was too close for her

So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her five dollars

She took it then kissed me and gave me a note

She told me just to read it and mail it Nashville

On old looseleaf paper to her mother she wrote:

Chorus:

She said: Mama, I'm fine, if you happen to wonder

I don't have much money but I still get around

I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays

So fuck all those west Nashville grand ballroom gowns

(she's a long way from the west Nashville grand ballroom gown)
