[Verse 1] I think you think that I got lucky I see it written on your face You say you'd like to fill my shoes How easily you'd take my place But if you spare me just a moment Before you go to beg and chase I think I'll ask you just one question How would you like to pay my dues? [Chorus] I shouldn't have come here in the first place 'Cus folks in here don't like my kind I hear they got a lot of reasons I think I see them on their signs They've got a lot to say In Music City USA
[Verse 2] I could draw a line from Texas Any place that's on the map I might be in California Then go to Georgia, be right back Up and down the Mississippi Tennessee river past me shows There underneath the lights of broadway I'm in the alley with the ghosts [Chorus] I shouldn't have come here in the first place 'Cus folks in here don't like my kind I hear they got a lot of reasons I think I see them on their signs They've got a lot to say In Music City USA In Music City USA
