I'm Going Dancin' in Nashville Tonight

I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight, I got a date with my baby
Gonna throw my guitar in the back of the car
And head for Tennessee
I got my new boots on to help me glide along
As we grace the floor with ease
Yeah, I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight
Swinging with my baby

And when the lights go up on the Opry stage
How surprised everyone will be
They won't be believing what their eyes are seeing on national TV
My guitar she'll be ringing to the songs I'm singing
As we swing a country beat
Cause I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight
On the stage of the Ole Opry

I'd been playing small honky tonks it seems most all my life
I told the boys in the band "Let's pack it up man
I'm gonna set things right"
I'll pound the back stage door till they can't ignore
I got a date with destiny
I'll tell the back stage hands, don't worry man
We're making country music history"

And when the lights go up on the Opry stage
How surprised everyone will be
They won't be believing what their eyes are seeing on national TV
My guitar she'll be ringing to the songs I'm singing
As we swing a country beat
Cause I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight
On the stage of the Ole Opry

"Ah, those lights are bright, I do like the feel of this floor
Hey, what's that Mr. Security man
Un-uh, I think we're gonna play one more"

My guitar she'll be ringing to the songs I'm singing
As we swing a country beat
Cause I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight
On the stage of the Ole Opry

Yeah, I'm going dancin' in Nashville tonight
On the stage of that Ole Opry
