The Nashville Scene Lyrics

The Nashville Scene lyrics

The streets are paved with tourist and the record companies flourish,Lord knows
every singer wants to be the king.



But some of them couldn't take it
and some good one's didn't make it.Thats the way it goes on the Nashville
scene.



Now there's a wino on the corner,he was a well known guitar
picker 'til he got burned out by the game.



Now he'll bum you for some
whiskey and tell you how it was back in '52 when he played for Hank.




and I'm watching the sun go down this evening and soon it will wake
this town thats made of dreams.



But before it does a new star will be
shining and thats the way it is on the Nashville scene.



From the
outside its a castle, from the inside its a prison its easy to live way beyond
your means.



and its a long, long way to the top and even further when
you drop and I've been on both ends of the Nashville scene.



And I'm
watching the sun go down this evening and soon it'll wake this town thats made
of dreams,



but before it does a new star will be shining and lighting
up the ole Nashville scene







and I'm standing here as the sun
goes down this evening and soon it will wake this town thats made of
dreams



but before it does a new star will be shining lighting up the
Nashville scene, 



lighting up the Ole Nashville scene.
