Nashville Is A Desert

There's no sand in the streets
Tumbleweeds blowing 'round
There're no flash floods
Nobody's gonna drown
There're no buttes and mesas
Salt flats or canyons
But Nashville Is A Desert
And that you can count on

Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will prick you
Like a saguaro cactus
They'll scratch and burn you
Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will bite you
Like a poison rattlesnake
They'll try to kill you

They bloom like desert flowers
These fragile Southern belles
Tempt and entice you
Then lead you into hell
Their beauty is deceptive
The music makes you cry
Nashville Is A Desert
It leaves you high and dry

Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will prick you
Like a saguaro cactus
They'll scratch and burn you
Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will bite you
Like a poison rattlesnake
They'll try to kill you

Bridge:
I still hear Gerry Rafferty
"This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul"

Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will prick you
Like a saguaro cactus
They'll scratch and burn you
Nashville Is A Desert
Its women will bite you
Like a poison rattlesnake
They'll try to kill you

Didn't know it's such a mean place, or is it the impression you may get for various reasons?
Special lyrics, strong and straight forward.
Thanks, Jim!
