Another Nashville Morning

I'm going down to Nashville, Tennessee
Was the home of Johnny 'C' and Bobby 'D'
I'm gonna make it there, yeah you'll see
I'll be the biggest star, yeah little ole me

Wand'ring down that old Country lane
Face kissed by the warm Tennessee rain
Hear that banjo picking through the mist
It's so faint it's easy to miss

Getting near to my Country pie
From the fields see that big skyline rise
Sling my guitar over my bare back
My feet slide quick over worn tracks

To the East dark clouds are forming
It's just another Nashville morning

Nashville make me a Country star
I'll buy a big pink Cadillac car
And some cowboy shark-skin boots and shades
I know that I can make the grade

Visit some of them Country bars
Sleep at night under those Southern stars
Pitch my tent outside some 'Execs' gates
Till the morning Heaven can wait

I'm going down to Nashville, Tennessee
Was the home of Johnny 'C' and Bobby 'D'
I'm gonna make it there, yeah you'll see
I'll be the biggest star, yeah little ole me

I know I can be a Country star
Playing my Takamine country guitar
My friends say 'I'm better than sliced bread'
Their words are still ringing in my head

To the East dark clouds are forming
It's just another Nashville morning
Knocking on those big Country doors
From behind each one rejection roars
Fat men with fat cigar smiles so fake
Say "Can't have a slice of THIS cake!"

Nashville's just a cold concrete maze
Take me back to my town's smoky haze
Can't take no more smilin' assassins
Country roads take me home to warm kin

To the East dark clouds are forming
It's just another Nashville morning
