Nashville Grass Video (MV)

(G. Johnson/APJJ/G. Lowe)



Someone tell me, do you know

Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?

I was told with great remorse

He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair



Southern daylight hurts my eyes

Standing under southern skies as I stare

Somewhere down in Tennessee

The scene was all too much for me to bear



All my good friends, gather around

On the Nashville burial ground



Nashville grass that the sun burned brown

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

We all got to stand in the same judgement

For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent

Nashville grass singing one more song

Carry him along, boys, carry him along

I saw these things come to pass

Standing on the Nashville grass



Standing in the Sunday suit

I saw his own black cowboy boots



Tell me someone, do you know

Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?

Were you there?

I was there



Nashville grass that the sun burned brown

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

We all got to stand in the same judgement

For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent



Nashville grass singing one more song

Carry him along, boys, carry him along

I saw these things come to pass

Standing on the Nashville grass
