Intro:

Verse
We are the writers of the music that we play
Words and notes from in our soul, written in our on way
We are the singers of the songs we choose to sing
Two different voices joined together, that will tell you anything

Chorus
But we’re along ways from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee
We’re not heard in Oklahoma, or in Los Angeles
They’ve heard us in New Zealand, and even New York City
But they’ve yet to hear us, in Tennessee
We’re a long ways from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee

Verse II
You won’t hear us at the Opry, or see us on TV
We won’t share a stage with George Strait, or see cash like Ol’ Johnny
You can hear us on an MP3, see us on a computer screen
You can even buy our CD's, from our bad deal in Los Angeles

Chorus
We’re a long ways from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee
Wer’re not heard in Alabama or in Mississippi
They hear us over in Denmark, they hear us down in Sydney
They’ve yet to hear us, in Tennessee
We’re a long ways from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee

Bridge
We have no dreams of grandeur, we’re quite modest as you can see
We know exactly what we are, and we are almost where we want to be

Chorus
But we’re a long way from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee
We’re not heard in Oklahoma, or in Los Angeles
They’ve heard us in New Zealand, and even New York City
They’ve yet to hear us, in Tennessee
We’re a long ways from Nashville, Nashville Tennessee
