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"
"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
