joe ely – dream camara lyrics

Loading...

i was standing at the end of the very longest line

between everywhere and nowhere i could not make up my mind

stole enough to keep me honest, walked a crooked mile, i know

i had more time than money, i had no place left to go

closed my eyes and chose a destination like any good refugee

i stuck a fork into a roadmap right through nashville, tennessee

swimming pools, country stars

hitchhiking on the shoulder of the road to nowhere fast

i flagged down a ride, next thing i know we’re haulin’ -ss

i turned to the scarecrow, to the lion, to the tin man

i said “everyone in nashville gonna wonder where we been man”

â´cross the bridge into memphis, i had my hat in my hand

paid our respects to he king and drove on to the promised land

welcome to nashville – land of opportunity

welcome to nashville – your cab driver knows alan jackson

welcome to nashville – the dreams are shoulder to shoulder

welcome to nashville…

we corssed against the light on broadway, we just got into town

n-body saw the blind man who was showing us around

he’d just moved back to nashville for teh forty-second time

introduced himself as “hey buddy, can you spare a dime?”

he was back without a vengeance, he arrived there with a thud

he was living on the sidewalk, he was thinning out his blood

i told the hotel clerk about my band and our show in town tonight

he said “let me guess – john, paul, george and ringo, am i right?

take a look around you, buddy, don’t you know where you are?

you can’t throw a rock without hitting some guy with a guitar.

since you brought it up i must confess i got my own band, too.”

he said his name was wallace hartley, i said “fancy meetin’ you!

welcome to nashville – everyone’s a songwriter

welcome to nashville – get yourself a cr-ppy day job

welcome to nashville – they’re gonna tear you a new one

welcome to nashville…

if a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around

if a band plays in nashville does it make a sound?

we did our bet three minutes that n-body came to see

but we sure put some time out of it’s misery

singin’ ’bout wallpaper cowboys and hemmingway cats

to a conflict of disinterest from their boots down to their hats

i sang ’em six or seven hundred of my very best melodies

they just said “boy, ain’t you got any other songs than these?”

i go walkin’ after midnight goin’ where the lonely go

i got heartaches by the number, hear that lonesome whistle blow

i took the grand tour, lived the night life, saw the rose garden too

found a good hearted woman but i can’t stop lovin’ you

if it’s only maek believe well who’s to bless and who’s to blame

’cause i walked the line and they never even called me by my name

welcome to nashville – man these guys are serious

welcome to nashville – i’ve got a friend who’s got a friend

welcome to nashville – would you like fries with that?

welcome to nashville – now go on home
