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' ass
I turned to the scarecrow, to the lion, to the
tin man
I said "Everyone in Nashville gonna wonder
where we been man"
'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
nobody 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 crappy 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 nobody came to
see
but we sure put some time out of its 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
