Verse 1
I’ve got my guitar
I’ve written 20 songs so far and
All I can think about is Nashville
I’m selling cars and making friends
spending my nights rhyming things
but all the boys say I'm betting long
So I take all my penny jars
and pack the back of this beater car
And drive myself all.. night
I’ve only got the weekend but it’s
Somewhere I must begin
so tonight I drive to Nashville
Verse 2
I think of how i got my start
standing up in country bars
to ask the band if I could sing along
they would take one look at me say
honey you're a little green
I'd smile and start to sing a song
then the drummer started up
the band would follow just my luck
and at the end they'd ask what else I knew
they said my voice was might strong
and one day it might take me far
maybe all the way to Nashville
Bridge
so I spend all my nights writing
it's the only time I felt right
Verse 3
Stop for a cup of tea as the
sun comes up on Tennessee
lose or win my road is crystal clear
I'm not the type for giving up
hard work and an ounce of luck
to fight the fear brewing up in me
take all my penny jars my
Gibson SJ guitar and
Patsy Cline's crazy
the little voice inside my head saying
giving up's no option so
tonight I drive to Nashville
tonight I drive to Nashville
