Nashville
I picked up the guitar when I was 12
Wrote a song about a girl and her ponytail
And my momma told me it was good
Well I was 16 singing songs on my tailgate
You asked me to play some George Strait
And that night we fell in love
Well You checked yes and crossed out no
I said before we get too far I gotta know
What if I went to Nashville?
And tried to make it big singing songs
What If it took me longer than a long time
Before anyone sang along
Would you still tell me that you loved me
If my heart was in Tennessee
Would you believe I ain't chasing my dreams they're chasing after me
Well I know it's a long way from here
What if I went to Nashville?
Well we went on with our real lives
Went to college got a real job had some good times
All my broadway dreams are still alive at 29
Well they say when fate knocks grab the door
My calling's been calling me now I gotta know
What if I went to Nashville?
And tried to make it big singing songs
What If it took me longer than a long time
Before anyone sang along
Would you still tell me that you loved me
If my heart was in Tennessee
Would you believe I ain't chasing my dreams they're chasing after me
Well I know it's a long way from here
What if I went to Nashville?
Well I ran every stop sign til I saw that orange porch light
And you sittin' on your mama's roof
And I said when these taillights pull out of this drive
It'll be the last time they do
Well I'm gonna go to Nashville
Gonna make it big singing songs
It might take me a long time
But everyone'll sing along
And I hope that you'll still love me
And both our hearts'll be in Tennessee
Ill be chasing my dreams and I wanna believe
That you'll be chasing 'em with me
I know it's a long way from here
But there's one thing I know for real
I'm gonna make it in Nashville
Wrote a song about a girl and her ponytail
And my momma told me it was good
Well I was 16 singing songs on my tailgate
You asked me to play some George Strait
And that night we fell in love
Well You checked yes and crossed out no
I said before we get too far I gotta know
What if I went to Nashville?
And tried to make it big singing songs
What If it took me longer than a long time
Before anyone sang along
Would you still tell me that you loved me
If my heart was in Tennessee
Would you believe I ain't chasing my dreams they're chasing after me
Well I know it's a long way from here
What if I went to Nashville?
Well we went on with our real lives
Went to college got a real job had some good times
All my broadway dreams are still alive at 29
Well they say when fate knocks grab the door
My calling's been calling me now I gotta know
What if I went to Nashville?
And tried to make it big singing songs
What If it took me longer than a long time
Before anyone sang along
Would you still tell me that you loved me
If my heart was in Tennessee
Would you believe I ain't chasing my dreams they're chasing after me
Well I know it's a long way from here
What if I went to Nashville?
Well I ran every stop sign til I saw that orange porch light

And I said when these taillights pull out of this drive

And I hope that you'll still love me
And both our hearts'll be in Tennessee
Ill be chasing my dreams and I wanna believe
That you'll be chasing 'em with me
I know it's a long way from here
But there's one thing I know for real
I'm gonna make it in Nashville
