Story Behind The Song

Hard working man feels like he's isn't getting anywhere in life and packs up and leaves for Nashville to pursue his dream of being a country star.

Lyrics

Hitchhiking To Nashville

I've been churning in this grind, it's the same thing everyday to just get by
I now know this work aint working, and I refuse to remain disatisfied
As I contemplate my younger days, I dreamed about singing up on stage
But I listened to the folks who said just get a job and earn an honest wage

I've got a six string on my side and my clothes in a sack
I'm hitchhiking to Nashvile and I won't be coming back
Until I top the charts, I'm going to play this old worn out guitar
I'm hitchhiking to Nashville-- to become a country star

I'll soar into my future beyond this endless stretch of highway
I'm glad I thought enough to finally spread my wings so I could fly away
It's easy to forget the stable life and steady job I left behind
If I think about an inspiring song and play it over and over in my mind

CHORUS

[Bridge]
People always say you can't make it in that town
Unless you've got some friends in high places
Well, I aint going to let anybody keep me down
I'll keep drawing cards until I'm holding aces

CHORUS
