Nashville: If Ole Hank Could Only See Us Now - Chapter Five

If ole Hank could only see us now

If he could see what we got goin' down

We got learjets and buses, chauffeured limousines

We done moved from the Ryman and Opry's on TV

I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow

What'd ya think if ole Hank could see us now?

Well, Nashville's got too rich to sing the blues

They've traded in their cowboy boots

For high-heeled Gucci shoes

Looks like they took the music out to lunch

There ain't a decent yodel in the bunch

If ole Hank could see us now

If he could see what we got goin' down

We got game shows and videos and a lot of souvenirs

From machines and synthesizers ringin' in our ears

I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow

What'd ya think if ole Hank could only see us now?

(Yeah)

It's still a long hard road but you know you're at the top

When the CMA awards you for crossin' over pop

I guess they finally think we've come of age

Singin' through the smoke, strobe lights on the stage

If ole Hank could only see us now

If he could see what we got goin' down

We got learjets and buses, chauffeured limousines

We done moved from the Ryman and Ralph Emery's on TV

I'd give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow

What'd ya think if ole Hank could see us now

We spend two hundred thousand dollars

Makin' compact discs

And the record never scratch and never break

Ver break, ver break, ver break, ver break

(Ha, ha, ha)
