Nashville Star (3:58)

NASHVILLE STAR

I FIRST CAME TO NASHVILLE
WITH DREAMS I'D BE A STAR
SINGING MY SONGS
AND PLAYING THIS GUITAR
I NEARLY HIT THE BOTTOM
WHEN I HAD MY FIRST HIT
THE WAY MY WORLD STARTED SPINNING,
MAN, I NEARLY FLIPPED MY LID
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
YOUR WISH JUST MIGHT COME TRUE
THE WAY IT DID FOR ME
AND YOU HOPE IT WILL FOR YOU
TO BE A NASHVILLE STAR

GET USED TO THAT OLD SUITCASE
YOU'LL BE LIVING ON THE ROAD
THAT'S THE WAY YOU GOTTA DO IT..
HEY EVERYBODY KNOWS
AN HOUR TO PLAY YOUR MUSIC
AND ANOTHER SHAKING HANDS
THEN YOU GOTTA HIT THE ROAD
AND DRIVE ALL NIGHT AGAIN
TO BE A NASHVILLE STAR

IT GETS PRETTY SCARY
WHEN YOU NEED ANOTHER HIT
YOU DRIVE YOURSELF STONE CRAZY
'TIL YOU COME UP WITH IT
THE MINUTES SEEM LIKE HOURS
'TIL IT COMES ALONG
AND IF IT TAKES TOO LONG
WELL THEN YOU STAR IS GONE

THESE DAYS I GET BY
JUST ANY WAY I CAN
IF YOU GOT SOMETHING GOING,
YOU CAN COUNT ME IN
I DON'T OWN A GUITAR
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN
I LET MY MEMORIES LEAD ME
DOWN TO BROADWAY ONCE AGAIN
IT WON'T BE VERY LONG
'TIL I HEAR SOMEONE SAY
THAT BUM ONCE HIT THE BIG TIME
HEY LOOK AT HIM TODAY
HE WAS A NASHVILLE STAR
NASHVILLE STAR
