johnathan east – nashville lyrics

Loading...

i saw a picture on a postcard when i was 10 years old
and them bright lights seemed to call me and i knew
someday i’d go
yeah i had myself some big plans; i swore i’d be a star
so i headed out at 18, just a suitcase and a car.

now i watch the snow outside my window, man it sure is
coming down
i sure hate this kind of weather and i hate this kind
of town
that old guitar in the corner, i should’ve never
learned to play
‘cause the songs that we’ve been writin’, just ain’t
sellin’ here these days.

(chorus)
well, i’ve seen good times, come and go
and i’ve heard some big lies down on music row
it’s a town full of dreams that have been killed
down in nashville.

met a homeless man on broadway, he said he used to be
like me
said he left his wife and family, to run out and chase
a dream
well he made a little money, but for the price of his
own soul
then they spit him out and dropped him, before he got
too old.

(repeat chorus)

this city’s nothing special, just a lot of lights and
smoke
they use to hide the pressures and the hearts that have
been broke
this town can tear your life up and make a wreck of any
plans
so i’m packin’ up what’s left here and goin’ back to
alabam’.

well, i’ve seen good times come and go
and i’ve heard some big lies down on music row
it’s a town full of dreams that have been killed
where the songs you write and sing are all that’s real
down in nashville.

i saw a picture on a postcard when i was 10 years old.
