Music City USA

I think you think that I got lucky
I see it written on your face
You say you'd like to fill my shoes
How easily you'd take my place
But if you'd spare me just a moment
Before you go to pick and choose
I think I'll ask you just one question
How would you like to pay my dues?

I shouldn't have come here in the first place
These folks in here don't like my kind
I hear they've got a lot of reasons
I think I see them on their signs
They've got a lot to say in Music City USA

I could draw a line from Texas
To any place that's on the map
I might be in California
Then go to Georgia, be right back
Up and down the Mississippi
Tennessee River past the Shoals
There underneath the lights of Broadway
I'm in the alley with the ghosts

I shouldn't have come here in the first place
These folks in here don't like my kind
I hear they've got a lot of reasons
I think I see them on their signs
They've got a lot to say in Music City USA
