Nashville, TN
I got called just a boy
Down in Alabama, unemployed
To make my way up Highway 65
Blues and soul 'cause I never could get her
Greener than the banks of the Mississippi River
But I got hungry for a pot of gold
I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs
Dixie little girl gonna sing along
And get up inside this machine
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
I was sawed by the blades
Squeezed my soul into the lemonade
One more drop of cider this city's seen
I'm mindful ahead with the rest of the diggers
Hands being shaken, but they never can deliver
Running empty, man, running cold
I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul
To hear my single on the radio
And give up all of my hopes and dreams
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
No more shine, no more sheen
No more phone and golden ticket dreams
Guess it's time to go find a nine-to-five
I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs
Dixie little girl gonna sing along
And get up inside this machine
I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul
To hear my single on the radio
Give up all of my hopes and dreams
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
Down in Alabama, unemployed
To make my way up Highway 65
Blues and soul 'cause I never could get her
Greener than the banks of the Mississippi River
But I got hungry for a pot of gold
I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs
Dixie little girl gonna sing along
And get up inside this machine
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
I was sawed by the blades
Squeezed my soul into the lemonade
One more drop of cider this city's seen
I'm mindful ahead with the rest of the diggers
Hands being shaken, but they never can deliver
Running empty, man, running cold
I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul
To hear my single on the radio
And give up all of my hopes and dreams
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
No more shine, no more sheen
No more phone and golden ticket dreams
Guess it's time to go find a nine-to-five
I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs
Dixie little girl gonna sing along
And get up inside this machine
I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul
To hear my single on the radio
Give up all of my hopes and dreams
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville
Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee
Oh, Tennessee
