Miss Nashville, Take off your Make-up

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008 AmeriKERNa Music

You must have spent some hours

lookin' like a doll

but every time I look at you

I'm lookin' at a wall

the beauty that you used to show

show all naturally

is covered up in make-up

Miss Nashville can't you see

chorus:

Miss Nashville

take off your make-up

remove the glossy polish

from your nails

Miss Nashville

I do not know you

your natural beauty

used to be the wind

behind your sail

you used to go to old

barn dances

honky tonks and bars

you went all dolled up

but you didn't nearly

go that far

you dressed rather plain

but still you looked so good to me

so why do you lose that make up

set your beauty free

you said you only want to please me

but you don't have to try so hard for me

just keep it

nice and simple

don't take the beauty

from our melody
