New to Nashville - Live

Cardboard kitchen table, dinner in the dark
I was down to four strings on my hand-me-down guitar
Mattress on the floor of my room
But I was new to Nashville
Magic in the neon, music in the night
Felt like I was made for living in these lights
If only then I knew
But I was new to Nashville

A thousand dreams a day
A thousand hungry heartbreaks coming
But you can't walk away
'Cause someday you just might be something
That ain't nothing
New to Nashville
I was in the right place, at least a couple times
I shook all the right hands, but they don't remember shaking mine
I've been paying dues
Since I was new to Nashville
A thousand dreams a day
A thousand hungry heartbreaks coming
But you can't walk away
'Cause someday you just might be something
That ain't nothing
New to Nashville
I've been here for so long
Heard so many no's
That don't mean that I'm not still holding on to hope
Like I used to when I was new
'Cause some dreams do come true
And that ain't nothing
New to Nashville
New to Nashville
