Lyrics

NASHVILLE
BY BRIAN BAGGS

I SPENT TWO WEEKS IN THE PROMISED LAND
TRYING TO GET THE PROPHETS TO UNDERSTAND
THEY CALL IT MUSIC ROW BUT IT'S A MERRY GO ROUND
ONE SONG YOU'RE UP NEXT SONG YOU'RE DOWN

NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE

EVERYONE'S GOT A GUITAR THERE'S NO ROOM FOR DOUBT
TRYING TO WRITE A HIT WITHOUT SELLING OUT
SINGING IN A ROUND IN SOME SMOKEY CAFE
STARING AT THE TABLES THEY CLEAN UP BY DAY

NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE
THEY SAY IT LIKE A PRAYER AND MAYBE IT IS
BUT THE GODS OF MUSIC TURN A DEAF EAR

THEY LET ANYBODY IN WITH A STRONG ENOUGH DREAM
A FIRE IN THE BELLY A HEAD FULL OF STEAM
5 YEARS IS ALL IT TAKES TO GET A CUT
BUT UP UNTIL THEN YOU'RE JUST OUT OF LUCK

NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE, NASHVILLE
THEY SAY IT LIKE A PRAYER AND MAYBE IT IS
BUT THE GODS OF MUSIC TURN A DEAF EAR
