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
