Well there's one more out-of-towner In Nashville, Tennessee He's come with all his hopes up high And a list of folks to see 'Cause pedal steels and take-out-meals Have lured another soul And a song a day in Nashville Was what he's send back home His lists were all familiar names They've turned him down before But that was with a pick-up band And tunes that weren't his owns But he was on his feet again A girl had helped him sail A song a day in Nashville And then the come back trail There's a song a day in Nashville That's how it's gonna be There'll be no hangin' round these bars Competin' with TV 'Cause pedal steels and take-out meals Are callin' me to go
And a song a day in Nashville Is what I'll send back home Yes, I'll take my songs to Nashville I know they'll play 'em right They'll be signed "Love from Nashville Be back tomorrow night" 'Cause you're the one that let me go Without an achin' brain Your faith in me has set me free To write these songs again There's a song a day in Nashville That's how it's gonna be There'll be no hangin' round these bars Competin' with TV 'Cause pedal steels and take-out meals Are callin' me to go And a song a day in Nashville Is what I'll send back home Ten days and I'll be home And a song a day in Nashville Ten days and I'll be home
