West nashville grand ballroom gown
By: jimmy buffett
1974
Standin on side of the highway 4 exit
A lady in tie-dye, a bag by her side
Not really lookin like anything special
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
Shes a long way from a west nashville grand ballroom gown
Chorus:
Father had money and her mother had love
Channelled entirely to her dear sister dove
Twenty-two years in societys plan
Was cancelled in the swing of her dear mothers hand
Six hours later we hit cincinnati
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 then mail it in nashville
On old loose-leaf paper to her mother she wrote
Chorus:
She said, mama Im fine if you happen to wonder
I dont have much money but I still get around
I havent made church in near thirty-six sundays
So fuck all those west nashville grand ballroom gowns
Yes shes a long way from a west nashville grand ballroom gown
The lyrics WEST NASHVILLE GRAND BALLROOM GOWN of JIMMY BUFFETT is also present in the album Living and dying in 3/4 time (1974)
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
