Hey pretty baby, are you ready for me?
It’s your good rockin’ daddy from Tennessee.
I’ve been out of state making money ‘cause I was tired of seeing all this cotton.
I chased a dream out of the south side,
But a redneck like me never says goodbye.
‘Cause me and my boys, we didn’t want to be poor, and now we’re moving back to Nashville.

There’s nothing better than going back to your hometown,
Bake a sweet potato pie, make me eat until I shut up.
I just followed the voices that led me down the road,
And now the kids are screaming my name.

Nobody told me I could go so far.
I had $37 in my wallet and a Fender guitar.
Now I’m wearing the hide of some animal.
I’ve been around the world, but it’s really nice to be in Nashville.

Hey pretty baby, you better be proud.
It’s because of me that your heels are on this asphalt.
I used to bathe in the Cumberland.
Now the owner of a restaurant wants a dish with my name.
Well, I’ve got to keep rockin’ because I can.
Played so much guitar that my arms are tan.
But when my boots hit the ground, I’m that same man
Who left here with the intention of winning for them.

Hey pretty baby, won’t you hold me tight?
I’ll be traveling one more time tonight.
One of these days I’ll settle down
And spend the rest of my life in Nashville.
