SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ME
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1981





Say something nice about me when you get to L.A.
Tell 'em I always say it's a good town
Tell 'em I know it's a long way to go to Nashville for a drink
Tell 'em I said I'm not really dead, I don't think

Say something nice about me when you get to New Orleans
Tell 'em I always dream about Bourbon Street
Horns in the night, Antoine's delights, walks on cobblestone streets
Say something nice about me

Say something nice about me when you get to San Antone
Tell 'em I still wear my hat and I drive a pickup
Tell 'em the strings on my guitar rings the tune about their rose
Tell 'em I'll see them all in the spring, I suppose

Say something nice about me when you get to my home state
Tell 'em I've been runnin' late, but I love 'em
Tell 'em I've found that the world is round and nothin' is ever free
Say something nice about me
