Lyrics
VERSE
Momma, I moved to Nashville
So I can play out on the street
And follow these big dreams
And you know I sing my heart out
But the bums downtown well they
Make more money than me
But some guy said I got what it takes
For a small price
He’ll put me up on stage
And with the exposure
He said I’ll be known all over
PRECHORUS
I guess I’m one song, away from
A new car, maybe a mansion
One song away from paying my bills
But right now I’m broke in Nashville
VERSE
Momma it’s been a few years now
And when I get a minute
I try to go down to Broadway
And play a few new songs
Hope you can see I got a wife and a kid now
Some days I’m just doin my best to hang on
Some guy said I got what it takes
For a small price, he’ll record me on tape
And with the exposure
Said I’ll be known all over the world
PRECHORUS
Yeah I guess I’m one song, away from
A new car, maybe a mansion
One song away from paying my bills
Yeah but ain’t that how you Make it in Nashville!
BRIDGE
Momma you taught me to shine my light
C’mon and guide me and let’s pierce the dark
Momma right now I’m headed downtown
And I’m gonna play this song
In every honky tonk bar, yeah yeah yeah!
OUTRO
Come on everybody
Isn’t this the anthem of Nashville!?
Follow your dreams and let the guitars play.
