The Streets of Music CityThere are a lot of sad stories On the streets of this town Among the flashing neon signs And the sad country sound And there's lots of pretty women To pull your world apart Beneath the bright lights of Nashville With their icy black hearts Chorus: The streets of Music City Have been awful hard on me I was gonna be a star I had lots of hopes and dreams Now I play lower Broadway For tips and spare change I wish it wasn't raining I wish it wasn't so gray On the streets of Music City today Everything starts out in color And slowly fades to black Just like all the old memories That always call you back To the places you left behind All the choices you made On the way to Music City And where you are today Bridge: I wish I'd never heard a fiddle I wish I'd never seen a guitar I wish I was a cowboy I wish I was a country star Chorus: The streets of Music City Have been awful hard on me I was gonna be a star I had lots of hopes and dreams Now I play lower Broadway For tips and spare change I wish it wasn't raining I wish it wasn't so gray On the streets of Music City today Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
