Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Hillbilly Hollywood

I can still remember my first guitar

Bright and shiny like a brand new car

Even took it with me when I went to school

And I practiced every day till I got real good

I learned every lick on the radio

From Wabash Cannon to go Johnny go

I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues

Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on on a Saturday night

Standing where my heroes stood

Hillbilly Hollywood

I played some bars where you never wanna go

From Oklahoma City down to Tupelo

My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell

When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night

Standing where my heroes stood

Hillbilly Hollywood

And I pray before too long

They will hear my song

And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights

Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night

Standing where my heroes stood

I dreamed, grand old Opry on a Saturday night standing

Hillbilly Hollywood

Hillbilly Hollywood

Hillbilly Hollywood
