[Verse 1]
G C G I had a dog named Banjo and a girl named Muffin D G I just blew in from Texas, I didn't know nothing C G But I found my way around this town with a friend I made named Guy D G Who loved Susanna, and so did I
[Verse 2]
G C G Now, there was this run down shack on Acklen Avenue that I shared with Skinny Dennis D G And a poet name of Richard Dobson who had a novel he'd never finish C G That's when Johnny Rodriguez, David Olney and Steve Earle first came through D G And every other guitar bum whose name I never knew
[Chorus]
C G D G Old school Nashville, Harlan Howard, Bob McDill C G D G Tom T. Hall, go drink your fill, and blow us all away

[Verse 3]
G C G Now, there was this tight-rope-walker who called herself "The Queen of Poughkeepsie" D G Who ran away from the circus with some roustabout redneck gypsy C G Now, they were Townes Van Zandt fans and prone to combustion D G They fought like dogs in Spanish and made love in Russian
[Bridge]
Em D C G I wish Newberry and Buck White would drop on by the house tonight Em D C D Things have changed 'round here you bet, but it don't seem much better yet
[Verse 4]
G C G I first met Willie Nelson with some friends at a party D G I was twenty-two years old and he must've been pushing forty C G Now, there was hippies and reefer and God knows what all, I was drinking pretty hard D G I played him this shitty song I wrote, then puked out in the yard
[Chorus]
C G D G Old school Nashville, Harlan Howard, Bob McDill C G D G Tom T. Hall, go drink your fill, and blow us all away C G D G Tom T. Hall, go drink your fill, and blow us all away
